The air left the room and I fell
Down to my knees and stayed there
For well over a year—Could you tell?
I think you suspected
But I carefully covered my legs just to fool you
Into thinking I was as tall as you

The air found a hole and seeped in
Slowly returning me to form
And as I moved around, nothing fit
I lowered my hands, 'cause
I had carelessly covered my eyes, just to keep you
From learning I couldn't look at you

I'll live with it no longer, 'cause it's both of our lives
And we cannot spend forever this way
I wish we'd waited longer before signing the line
But we can't consider it a mistake

The air left a trail of downed trees
Reeking it's havoc
And a few people claimed to have dropped
To their knees
But don't blame the wind, 'cause
It will just knock you down 'til it gets where it's going
And when it arrives, it starts floating

I'll live with it forever but my pillow is dry
'Cause the debt is not just mine to repay
I wish I'd left it sooner, but it wasn't a lie
And I don't consider it a mistake
