Slightly off of the center
Of a photograph
That was meant to tie us into place
Brings a sense of comfort
That will cradle me
While I sit around waiting for your return
And this sense of comfort
Will be handle I hold on
To fight frustration
10 minutes of failure
Were the answer
I was waiting to help me off my back
Slightly short of perfection
Of a photograph
That I set in my mind and hold you into place
Fight aggravation
While someone pulls the carpet down underneath my feet
And maintain the memory
Can you tell me you'll be coming back again
Can you tell me that you miss me just as much
Has this only been a bad dream
If so could you please wake me up.
