It Hasn't Been Long Enough

Eric Hutchinson


Long as I am erasing this there's something I am bound to miss
Opportunities exist but often don't arise
And think of how it must have felt to watch you walk away and melt
I keep it all inside myself and in between my eyes
And it's no surprise what we've become
Since the arrival has begun

It hasn't been long enough to even begin to think it's alright
I'm only concerned with the way we end up
I think I've been wrong enough to know when I'm right
So put up fight if you must but we know that our trust is undone
It hasn't been long enough

I feel as if I spoke too soon and ruined the whole afternoon
A feeling that we're more than doomed is creeping up inside
And good as it was bound to be there's something about you and me
It's negative in chemistry which makes it hard to hide
And it's no surprise when lights are falling
It's bound to reawake some primal calling

It hasn't been long enough to even begin to think it's alright
I'm only concerned with the way we end up
I think I've been wrong enough to know when I'm right
So put up fight if you must but we know that our trust is undone
It hasn't been long enough

What's making you believe that the seventh time around is gonna be different
You know I'm not convinced
Long as the knot was tied problems always were around
And I'm not any different so I won't listen
