Blisters

The week has now ended

The memories float in the air

And some settle in our minds

Forever remaining there

I will never forget

Just watch me retain it all

And bring it back up again

In fifteen summers and falls

But I woke up at seven this morning

Without my alarm for once

And the memories felt more like scars

Cut into all of us

Nothing about it hurt

But oh, does it hurt now

And I just had to wake up at seven

With too much to think about

My hands are sore

From tugging a rope

From straining too hard
From trying to cope
I'm pulling the rope
I'm fighting for you
'Cause you're too hard to find
And too easy to lose
And now I've got blisters from
Things that I choose
If I lost this war I'm not
Sure what I'd do
'Cause you've always been more
Than I can explain
And yet, I still try to
Find something to say
Don't know what happens to my heart
When you look at me
All the things that you do
Now I never wanna leave
You may have felt like you were fighting
Over the course of this week
I'm not sure if you even tried
Or just let it be
But you didn't have to do a thing
No one else could ever measure up
I'll always come to you
And to you I'll always run
I never got a splinter
But I feel like I've got a million
They go by a different name, though
"The days till I see you again"
