Danger Ahead

And all of a sudden a corner comes up that I didn’t notice
Because I was too busy missing the absence of nightmares
Your presence brings, too busy missing your warm eyes
And solidly drumming heart that helps my mind keep time.

And I crash at full speed because something happened that
I wasn’t really expecting to happen between us, I mean
Things just aren’t supposed to feel like that between us
Just because we’ve been absent from each other for a little.

And I’m sorting through the wreckage of the carnage but
Finding no answers to the tiniest, subtlest change that I
Still managed to lock onto and worry over just like a
Dog worrying at stitches until the damage is even worse.

And I’m trying to stick the puzzle together but all I can
Think of is that the road changed without me realising
Which can be devastating, roadwork’s fuck things up
To the point of disaster when a pothole appears.
