A Couple Days - Valley Maker

Time is just a game I play

It’s written on the ocean’s waves

Circling beyond my brain

Something I could not contain

Something I could not contain

I know it and I cannot stray

The part of me I cannot break

The loss of you beyond the gray

I’m sticking to the chosen ways

I’m sticking to the chosen ways

I picture you inside my brain

Reminding me to say my grace

Reminding me to be amazed

I missed you by a couple days

I missed you by a couple days

How much of you is who I’ll be?

How much of us is in between?

What is and what is yet to be?

And can I hold the mystery?

I cannot hold the mystery

To think that you were once like me

To think that I will be like you

To think that I will be consumed

To know that I remain confused

To always see the world in bloom

To see it like you taught me to

To know that I will be amazed

I missed you by a couple days

I missed you by a couple days

Show me how to find my place

To love the world as it remains

I cannot know the time it takes

I missed you by a couple days

I missed you by a couple days
