Misfortunes of the Average Lover

Timekeeper

In the box
The one where I keep
All the cards and all the keepings of the clock
I read them all
And I watched them tick by again
And I weep, weep for the time where we could fall
In love over and over, and it haunts me now and then.

I weep for the girl in the pictures
So beautiful, strong, happy and full
Because when I look in the mirror, she's only a wisher
Now unlovely, frail, doubtful and her eyes are dull
You filled me with hope and that I sought out
And still today I hold on
But I'd be lying if i said I don't constantly doubt
The security of our bond.

I weep for the girl he wrote to
I weep and cry out
I weep for not what I've lost
But what I can't stop from losing.
