Infinity and Ten




















When she’s lonely at night
She stares out of her window from her bed
Counting the stars up high
Concluding there must be infinity and ten

Who knows?
Isn’t that real question to ask?
History shows
Peace never seems to last

He plays his guitar when he’s frustrated
The same incomplete tune again and again
Wondering how he’s kept patience
This many hours, infinity and ten

Time goes
How much did we miss?
Nothing flows
Unless it’s tears we reminisce

Uncharted emotions, infinity and ten
Handful of memories, infinity and ten
Building regrets, infinity and ten
Back the same way we went

When she’s happy, it’s short-lived
No one can tell how long it lasted then
She never takes, but always gives
How many gifts, infinity and ten

Who deserves?
Is there an honest judge?
Complication unnerves
And gets the best of us

He walks on by lingeringly
Pauses a moment, thoughts in his head
Blinking once more tearfully
The circles he’s made, infinity and ten

Often unheard
When the soul cries
What is learned
When all we tell is lies?

Uncharted emotions, infinity and ten
Handful of memories, infinity and ten
Building regrets, infinity and ten
Back the same way we went

Laugh a little while and then pain comes
What we did then can never be undone
As the lion king said, “it’s the circle of life”
To feel the joy of the sun and strife of night

Who knows?
Isn’t that real question to ask?
History shows
Peace never seems to last

Uncharted emotions, infinity and ten
Handful of memories, infinity and ten
Building regrets, infinity and ten
Back the same way we went
(Repeat x1)

Back the same way, everything on replay
