Clapton Pond

Clapton let out its last breath and eases to morning light

and our shattered voices echo and carry like sirens

Tonight I'm leaning on every word that you've been saying

it's been holding me up all along

And all the sidesteps and the silences they would all be worth it in the end

and every step we have taken wouldn't need to be doubled up again

It's always like this

things they fall apart

when we just can't let go

I'm not looking for familiarity or routine

just a little consistency and for every problem

every mistake, every regret and every headache

to leave it all behind somehow

Paranoia and anxiety are not on my side, they never were

I thought I had all this figured out

oh this is progress towards perfection

this is progress towards perfection

It's always like this

things they fall apart

when we just can't let go
