I used to cover my face
So that it would be harder

For people to tell who I was.
I remember daydreaming about

The colors in your eyes
When you thought something was funny.

The crowd looks a lot different
From here

And time seems to fight
Against itself.

In this lifetime
8 seconds passes

Between each blink
While days, they seem endless,

Much like th elook in your eyes
When you think something is funny.

You asked me once
If it hurts

Though all I wanted to do
Was protect you.
