More or less you’re gone, more or less you’re here
More or less, a friendship lasts a million years or so, or so they say, the ones who know
More or less, hopefully yes, now guess who’s here from all those years ago
What I did not know, I was sure you would know so to you I would go
In those simpler times before the flood when it felt so right to feel the love between us
More or less, you were the best, the best of all the friends, of all the friends I’ve ever had
Not because you were like me, but just because I knew you’d understand
I remember all the wonderful things, how you’d dance and you’d sing
I remember that world and how nothing changed
I remember the times when there was no pain between us
More or less, I tell myself that I forgive myself for being small, for being hurt
Both myself and you, but I know that’s not true I can’t get over you
Love that’s misunderstood, we can still call it love, we should still call it love
Love that could not live, love that always will, they are not the same
Something still remains between us
I could use some rest, but somehow I cannot these days, I look for you, but you’re not here
When I close my eyes, I cannot bring you back. Would you say that’s my fault, too?
When I did not know where it was I belonged, I could belong with you
Two minds with one thought, but with one blind spot
Yes, I’ll give it a shot to keep what we’ve got between us
By the end, each one of us is by ourselves too much, so much of this, this looking back
All the mid-day walks, the midnight talks are gone and will not come again
Are you still here, never going away, there’s no running away
Is it sun? Is it rain? Is it love? Is it pain? When only memories remain between us
So I will choose the sun even in the rain to keep us one and bridge the pain between us
