"Afternoon" lyrics

"Afternoon"

I ran outside with no time to
To check my watch or I'd undo
The purpose of keeping the time
But I did anyway
So I know I'll be late, I don't wanna lie

Treasured in your eyes

But you still smile, you're indifferent
So I'm the child who still depends
On small things like being on time
And you will either way
I can't hide my mistakes from someone so wise

Treasured in your eyes

All I see is your afternoon
We are meant to leave, meant to leave
All that we share will come and go
We are meant to leave, meant to leave

I ran inside Central Station
Where all my ties intersect and
The 6:09 had just missed me
I swear I made the next train
I'll never be late again

Treasured in your eyes
I fell in them
In the light of my kin
Everything's less broken

All I see is your afternoon
We are meant to leave, meant to leave
All that we share will come and go
We are meant to leave, meant to leave

Do I talk too much?
Will you understand
Why I'm always gone
And where I've been?

Will you still smile?
