before i go (as per usual) ... (brannigan track)

your hair shimmers like a river of gold
flowing through the small of your back
i wish you knew how i felt and how you make me feel
each glance is worth alot (because its how i read you)
but i'm a fool
an imperfect tool
a satellite that can't recieve signals clear as daylight
that's why i have these thoughts
gathered in a court of a notebook

one more time before we part ways
just one more taste
one more time before you go and hide
i'll mark this day
"the day i died"

someday you will know how i feel
i hope it wont be too late
what do i have to do to prove myself?
it is a longshot and there is a line preceeding
but i swear i have good aim
and i can hold my place well

but if i lose ground
i hope you find better resolve
my best wishes and i hope you will be happy
for i will live everyday in regret and relapse

it wont be the end
but it will be settling for less
