how i'd walk beside you

how did I ever,
I thought I had it all along
wicked schemes and childhood dreams

how did I ever
find you, reach this
had I been lost without a clue

but in my mind and in my dreams
did I catch you, lean into
slowed two steps so I'd walk beside you

I'm anxious and afraid that
we're not on the same page
and that all I have are figments and fiction

days a long and drawn
did I catch you, lean into
you slowed two steps so I'd walk beside you
