This Is Not Here

Seems like I just learned to care
I know that you will but don't you dare
Point your stare

In my direction, the inflection in your voice says
"things aren't working out"
But I've got some doubt...

Almost is a dirty word when your 17
Regret can kill you when you turn 20

Fall asleep in separate rooms
Things are changing fast but you left me too soon

To look in my direction, the inflection
In my voice says, "let's try and work it out"
But I've got some doubt

But I can't wait that long to hear what happens next
And it's been so long since I've been put to the test
