Ahead of Me

Riding over to the park, sky will soon be turning dark but you’re holding onto me

The oak tree where you carved your name, things could never be the same, ‘cos you’re holding on to me.

I know I missed the chance to keep you near

I took too long to see what I had here

But now I’m on my way, the summers gone and I was wrong but I can’t take

Another day alone

I hear your song and I belong, but then you fade

and I’m lying in the bed you made

But you go on

Pictures of you on my wall, hoping that I’d hear you call but you’ve gone ahead of me.

Traces of you in my sky, teardrop rolling from my eye but you’ve gone ahead of me.

I know I missed the chance to keep you near,

I took too long to see what I had here.

But now I’m on my way, the summers gone and I was wrong but I can’t take

Another day alone

I hear your song and I belong, but then you fade

And I’m lying in the bed you made

But you go on

Writing words that I won’t send, I never wanted this to end but you’ve gone ahead of me.
