foresight

Wouldn't it be nice if we could steal some time away
From all the world, the price we'd pay
Would never compare to what's already been done

Wouldn't it be nice if we could dance the night away?
If you could live another day?
The things I forget you would never have not known.

The days grow longer as the years drag on and on
I can't stand that you've been gone
When you had promised we would stand side-by-side.

Never could've known that by the time this cold had grown inside me
Vacant empty hate beside the man who I could never hold.
Oh.

Wouldn't it be nice to throw these past few years away?
Live as a fortress for a day or two,
As empty as the day you left me.

Wouldn't it be nice if I could only see your face?
Instead of sculpted into paint,
I wanna hold you in your own flesh and bone.

If only you'd told me you would leave me
If only I had ever known
If only I had more time for the grieving
If only, Laz, you didn't have to go

If only I had given more affection
If only I made a better home
If only she would listen to my lessons
If only he had paid attention
No.

What do I do with all this pain inside me?
Who am I?
What can I be?
What do I do with all this pain inside me?
Who could I be?
Who could I be for Ruby?

Oh, Ruby...

Oh Ruby, I guess I have to be strong for you
