Letting Go
They met for coffee every morning in the subwayHad a smoke before the 8:13 arrivedHe was always just a bit hung-overShe said it was a wonder he was still aliveHe always said that life is learning to walk fencesShe'd say it was more like walking through a mazeHe'd reply that every turn had consequencesShe'd say "I know, I've tried at least 1000 ways."They used to laugh about they way they talked in circlesAnd wonder about the bridges they had burnedHe said freedom had always been his first loveShe said freedom's in the lessons you have learnedHe said "I don't know why people call me recklessShe said "because you never look before you leapHe said "but jumping off a fence is not so dangerousIt depends on the company you keepShe said 'is that your way of saying that you trust meOr that you tired of living all aloneWho is there to hold you when you get lost?Who is there to welcome you back home?His silence was thicker than the coffee, Then he whispered 'you're the only one who caresLetras de cancionesShe smiled and said 'is that an invitation?' Cuz somehow it feels more like a dareHe said "no, I'm pretty sure that was a question"I know I've made mistakes along the wayBut you made me to believe in 2nd chancesSo I'm taking my biggest chance todayHer silence lasted longer than the summer as she stared past him into the morning crowdHe said don't worry bout giving me an answerbut she cut him off and wondered right out loudShe said everyone I know thinks I am cautiousHe said everyone you know is probably rightShe said But you made me believe in taking chancesI never thought I could but I just might...He said we'd never have to stop this conversationIf we hurry we could take the 9:05She said i guess my maps won't do me any good now'This must be what it's like to feel alive.
