"Time And Tide"

We were the wild ones
yes we got around
sitting in your kitchen
talking shit and
singing songs
we were the underdogs
young and free
the future was
never part of are foresight
we shut are eyes so
we could not see.
We were the star crossed
our hearts beat as one
my soul would perform somersaults
and multiple dance routines
every time the phone rung.
we were spirits of uncertainty
we let time pass us by
failure was assured
if only we had the
strength to try.
When we would argue
i would sit on the fence
now everything we fought for
is dead drowning in the riptides
of past tense.
