Float On

Back then it seemed so easy to feel right
To let your heart float up into the night
But what goes up has to come down, that’s gravity
And your heart came crashing down onto me
Drenching me in feelings that I wasn’t prepared for
Showering me in this blissful downpour
God, how I love the rain, but not this time
No, this time is different, listen to the high frequency whine
In your voice, when I tell you this is wrong
I can’t just drown it out with a sad song
Music will not simply drape over the sound
Of your heart breaking, shattering when it hits the ground
I couldn’t catch you, I wasn’t paying attention
But I listened closely just to be blown away by the percussion
Maybe you’ve never fell so hard, maybe it never hurt this bad
But time is a great remedy and eventually you will have had
Plenty of chances to let go, and you have to hold on to one
Grab hold of change and don’t loosen your grip or it will be gone
Floating up into the night, dancing along the path your heart once took
It will disappear without you without even taking a second look
Like me, it’s not coming back, yet time marches on
Your heart will mend itself, and when it’s done
Only scratches will remain of a once shattered existence
The beating will continue on, like soft music
And you will drown out the memories that seemed to ache
And the risk will become worth it, though you thought it was one you’d never take
