A Guardian in a Passerby - Light This City

Time likes to flirt with me

He knows I’m watching as he passes

He is merciless with my lust

He won’t give me the satisfaction of glancing back my way

I can’t seem to get enough of the way he tastes

It’s like I’m always watching him

Watching him walk away

It’s true Time will never stop for me

And he might not even be there when I need him at the end

But I will stand by this man until he gives up on me

Don’t give up on me

I reach for him and he pushes away

It seems just when I feel him in my hands he’s tempted to release

Please hold onto me

When he is not always so cautious

I can see he cares

Sometimes he visits on long nights when I’m lonely

He might be inconsistent

But at least he’s faithful

I know he’ll always be back

In the meantime I can handle this whirlwind life

It’s true time will never stop for me

And he might not even be there when I need him at the end

But I will stand by this man until he gives up on me

Don’t give up on me

I reach for him and he pushes away

It seems just when I feel him in my hands he’s tempted to release

Please hold onto me

He leaves a note when he sneaks away

In the middle of the night

It’s these mornings I wish he would protect me from the world

There is no greater strength than time

Well he can’t be bothered when he’s busy

He’s gone more often lately and for longer

I have always wanted the unattainable

But it’s not like me to depend so on a man
