if i ever wrote this letter
and i sent it along to you
if it were intercepted
what do you think they might do
what are we to do now
theres no way we can be how
they want us to be
it's just you and me
in the stillness of the water
and the clearness of the night
i still cant find the reflection
between wrong and right
maybe it's the ocean tide
that confuses everyone
the waves stir up the sand
making earth and water as one
and in my mind im not sure
and in my face its not clear
and in my heart im aching
and in my love i'm not here
so i cant be the one you want
when days are long and hot
i cant carry all that guilt
i cant be what im not
i dont know what to think
when i reach the end of the day
and all there is another opening
of some other ridiculous play
and i wish i had the answers
to all the questions i create
i wish i had the smiles
of all the canaries that you ate
but i will never send this letter
because theres too much revealed
and i could never send it
nor could i be the one to seal it
i need you to come to me
to let me know that what you need
cause i cant make any advance
i cannot take the lead
i am at risk in many ways
still i think of you every day
i would hate for it all to go away
to be just another loss
chalked up to fate
to be the canary
that you once ate
