If Tomorrow Was Today

Beauty is only skin deep

The surface of what we see

Peel back the monster, each piece,

Calls back to the start, uncleaned.

Beauty's-not-for-me

Fell deeper into a dream

Race to the finish

Complexity washed you and me.

I hoped away the world

(And) dreamt up your image

'Cause more than I want, was never given.

I couldn't picture a deeper message

Your scars in the flash

(I) fell in love with the blemish.

I covered my eyes

could you feel my name?

A picture's a picture.

Times are the same.

Here's to the girl

That won't change,

You love the sun,

I walk in the rain.

Isn't it alarming,

How traumatic ghosts haunt the soul?

How we write our past,

In the present as today.

We'll never be the same.

And where do we remain?

How inviting,

Time's mistakes plague our scene,

Would you fall from a star, floating on a dream?

Touch ground like a feather

Our problems never weather

Touching paper with a letter

In hopes of getting better.

I can't, I can't, keep slipping away.

I cant, I can't, keep slipping away.

I wanna go back to the start,

When you took my head

And stole my heart.

I wanna go back to the start.

To get away from you

Before we played our part.

I covered my eyes

to hear you speak

I went blind, so you could feel me

Erasing history with this premise,

My love for you then, knew no limits.

I fell in love with your scars.

I fell in love with the blemish.

I fell in love with the flaw.

I fell in love with it all...

Take my hand

Run away...

To a place, we've forgotten

Past a yesterday.

Somewhere outside.

Before the evening rain,

We will get stronger,

If tomorrow was today...
