Periphery

You're always rounding the corner right in front of me

Always aware of your presence in my periphery

Split-second cameos as I sleep

Ships in the night passing silently

I let go again and again but

This kind of thing doesn't easily rest

And I don't understand

You say we get what we want if we put in the time, tell me

Does that now apply

Help me to understand

'Cause I like to imagine that when you're standing next to me
