Phase from Ashland by The Quiet Regret

Count the years of wonder
Count the years of truth
Count the years of happy
Count the years of youth

Count the steps I’m walking
Far away from you
Trying not to think about
The day it all was through

All the steps I’m taking
Trying to pretend
One foot to the other
Waiting for the phase to end

I’m just counting passing moments
Waiting for the phase to end
Count the years of awful
Count the years of truth

Count the years of happy
When I was close to you
Count the joyful moments
Count them ‘till I cry

Inside I’m sill screaming
Outside asks the silent why
The orbit’s getting larger
Makes it hard to see

That things are so much harder
When you’re not here right next to me
But things were so much harder
When you were here right next to me

The question I keep asking
To my long lost friend
Are we wasting time
Will we ever start to mend

All the steps we’re taking
Trying to defend
Counting passing moments
Waiting for the phase to end

All the years we’re wasting
Yet we still pretend
That we don’t love each other
We’re waiting for the phase to end

And all the time we’re wasting
Waiting for the phase to end
The space keeps getting colder
But I still pretend

That I’m not getting older
Waiting for the phase to end
And time just keeps on passing
Waiting for the phase to end
