As It Is

I stayed awake
While worlds away
To ask about you

And all at once
I jumped the gun
I didn’t mean to

To count the days
I used to hate
But now they’re not so tough to live through

And while away
My freckled face
Should surely miss you

I guess I’ve changed
It’s not a phase
Nothing like before

You’ll miss it though
But only ‘cause
You’re sentimental

Don’t paint this gold
Like at the start

For it is
As it is
As we are

Don’t take it back
Don’t tell me you can’t

For it is
As it is
As we aren’t

We saved a date
It’s not too late
To rearrange it

We jumped the gun
You left to run
I stayed, conflicted

And you still see
How we could be
Is there something that I’m missing

‘Cause all along
I kinda knew
That we were fading

Don’t paint this gold
Like at the start

For it is
As it is
As we are

Don’t take it back
Don’t tell me you can’t

For it is
As it is
As we are

For it is
As it is
As we aren’t
