Look Both Ways

Chorus:
It came out of nowhere,
We couldn't see it coming.
Our worst fears unravel.
This is why I don't believe in karma,
I believe in fate.
We were always taught to look both ways,
Well we did.

Two steps behind and I was lucky,
But I would have had it another way.
I tried to scream when I stopped dead,
I heard it coming.
My uncertainty turned to irony
As the tears fell down,
My face for everyone to see.
I've never been so scared in my life.
I waited for hours so I would know
If it would be ok,
For us to be friends again
Get back to normal and it some awkward way...
We were lucky...

*Chorus*

This wasn't how it was supposed to go,
I was supposed to be grounded
Not lying on the ground.
You were supposed to care to come,
This is why it never worked out.
I was lucky I learned to be
More than I am, more than you'll ever be.
I gave up my life,
You gave up an hour of your precious time.

*Chorus*

Notice how the days go slower,
Somehow I think I've changed.
Everything is less detailed for me
Still being here lets me know,
We all needed to make it happen
So we can never have to let it go
The time escaped from my life
Where did mind go? He was out of site
I look in the mirror and it was a blur,
But there's nothing to be sorry for...
Cuz we were lucky.
