Wandering Souls

So here we are -- two wandering souls
 On the precipice of the most important day of our life
 I didn't know you wanted out
 Looking for the great escape and finding it
 Happiness is a long ways away from a thing called love
 But you can't convince me that we couldn't be somewhere sort of close
 When you run away, can I wait for you somehow?
 Can I wait for you now?
 So what about me? My life is in pieces
 I'm left to discover the rest of my journey alone
 When I'm without you, I don't feel right
 But I'm trying to cope
 I'm trying to move on
 I'm trying to hold on
 But happiness is a long ways away from a thing called love
 And I remember you and the way that I felt when I held you in my arms
 Don't run away; can I wait for you somehow?
 Can I wait for you now?
 Happiness is a long ways away from a thing called love
 And I feel ashamed that I can't
 look away from your etchings in my heart
 When you ran away, I thought I could wait for you somehow
 But the wait is wearing me down
 I'm still waiting for you now
