My Future As Your Past
(c)2003 K the band

Each time 
you walk out my door,
you’re gone a little longer,
a little farther than before.
As I feel you pull away, 
disappearing fast, 
heading for 
my future as your past.

It starts with 
a knocking at the door.
Or the telephone will call, 
and you’ll hurry off once more.
I get you in the in-between,
the gaps in your routine.
My future as your past priority

In a world 
where everything decays,
entropy prevails,
and nothing gold can stay. 
It's all disintegrating,
quickly slipping through our grasp,
and I’m stuck on 
my future as your past.

And I know you have to go

As desperately as I want you to stay,
I’ll manage a smile as I watch you skip away
It’s pointless clinging onto 
summer days that cannot last.
My destiny, my future is your past
