Washing Off and Moving On...

It seems that just so often, I stand in just one place;
My wheels are slick and spinning, I can't keep with the pace;

I try and try to find you, but you've been gone so long;
I only can remember, your face when I was wrong;

The things I said, I can't take back, I'd never even try;
I meant them then, I'm lonely now, I look up toward the sky;

I like to think your looking, upon the same bright star;
I know we'll never do that, the long shot's way too far;

I was right for you, and you were right for me,
But things went south, when you moved out, and then you just moved on;
I guess I could have stopped you, At least I could have tried,
But that's the path, I can't go back, and now you are long gone;



I guess I'll never need you, I guess we'll never be;
I guess that once I do move on, you'll fade as memory;

I feel my wheels start catching, I grip and start to move;
I feel myself forget you as I fall into my groove;

I see I'll never need you, I see we'll never be;
I see that now I can move on, you're just a memory;



I never will forget you, or curse the blessed times;
But now my life is calling, I'm taking it, it's mine...
