Here and There..

I figured it out it had to be said, written, told, forget
If this goes without saying, you'd know what it means, what it seems
We have gotten this far, today, yesterday, every day, each day
Right here, still here and then we stay here, stuck in the middle of nowhere
A jump forward, a step back, two steps forward, a long run back
It would take a great leap or we'd stand here like we did every other day, just here
So I am already halfway gone, can't wait this long, so long
Left behind what was you, of us - its a long run back from the land of wrong, lifelong
You never could be sure, so do it now
Make a decision - deny or allow
Would it be a jump or would you still stand and watch?
Its do or die, sink or swim
Whats its going to be? its has to be right about now
Looks like now isn't soon enough, everything is coming to pass
So stand here and stay silent, don't leap, don't walk
Don't scream, don't run, don't hide, don't talk
Ssh! Let the silence prevail, let it decide, let it trail
You do hear the shuffling of my feet? The whispers of this conversation, the echo in my scream?
Remnants of this become a part of you, a part of me - haunting us now and haunting us years
Cause I am leaving tonight...you stand just right here, stay here, be here
Am I already gone, leaving it all behind - a man of sight, blind
I know I can stand here and wait, waiting for the time to stand still but I am leaving it all behind
Cause I am not there anymore, halfway gone, already gone
One leap, only if you had tried.
Its now me here and you there
If only you tried...
