This Afternoon
Anything I give you in a minute could be gone
I’ll spend an hour on your photograph and four weeks on a song
Everything I memorize it seems so familiar now
It’s like I dropped the final note but I’m forced to air it out
And I say
I can hold your gaze
This afternoon
With a dollar to my name
This afternoon I will go
Anywhere you want me to
This afternoon you can hold it
Anytime you wanted to
Because it’s this afternoon
I can empty you of all these sorrows you’re living with
I can hold on to them with mine, just fine
I’ll put them behind this door with everything that I ignore
When I’m reaching for the words I’ll find there’s nothing left to say this time
But I said
I can hold your gaze
This afternoon
With a dollar to my name
This afternoon I will go
Anywhere you want me to
This afternoon you can hold it
Anytime you wanted to
Because it’s this afternoon
