Here We Are Again (Demo)
Everyone knew it was awkward
Sharing names across a circle
Wondering if we might stumble on a friend
But choosing the lesser evil
Cause we’re here to meet new people
and terrified of loneliness we played the game
We started a conversation,
And I wished we could continue it,
Every question made me feel more at home
But I couldn’t bear an hour with you
If I couldn’t be with you
Mutually requited but it wasn’t fate
It’s funny how it’s hard to catch any open door
We always seem to miss it by a month or more
And every year I’ve wondered
Is it too late now?
So keeping a steady distance
As I lost my faith and got depressed
Friendless I longed to talk with you again
And movement across the country
Couldn’t slow the drive within me
I kept to myself until the moment came
But I got let down
When I read your letter,
shoved my feelings down
But I’m not afraid to say it now
I craved your touch and missed your smile
It’s funny how it’s hard to catch any open door
We always seem to miss it by a month or more
And every year I’ve wondered
Is it too late now?
But here we are
Again
Victims of unalignment
Always barely missed and out of sync
Right as your life was opened mine closed down
Suddenly one day flowered
Like a dormant rose on Easter
Finally naming what we felt the whole damn time
But did I let you down
Did my letter make you anxious,
Fall apart
I won’t hurt you now
Though I admit you’d have good reason to doubt
It’s funny how it’s hard to catch any open door
We always seem to miss it by a month or more
And every year I’ve wondered
Is it too late now?
But here we are
Again
I’m not afraid of getting let down
And we both know that it’s time now
To give this a chance
So would you take my hand and dance with me
I’m not afraid of getting let down
I’ve got my reservations and my doubts
But we have questions and we need
Some time to answer them
It’s funny how it’s hard to catch any open door
We always seem to miss it by a month or more
And every year I’ve wondered
Is it too late now?
But here we are
Here we are
Here we are
Again
