Scrimmage

Were you sick of me before you went to leave

Were you hiding it, thought that I couldn't see

How wrong it was, how long it had dragged on

Were you over it by month 7 or month 8

Could've ended things, you found it best to wait

Until we slipped from heights we once stood on

There were hundreds of photos from the year

I memorized them all, thought I was in the clear

But I haven't seen this one before

And we're already back to my eyes on the floor

Projecting a different time against the planks

The pictures help fill in the blanks

What was wrong with me that made the river change

From effervescent drift to rapids in the rain

Should I have taken notes along the way

And when you love again, will it be the same

Will it be for real unlike our little game

A practice run, a scrimmage, just moving chains

There were hundreds of photos from the year

I memorized them all, thought I was in the clear

There were hundreds of photos from the year

But I haven't seen this one before

And we're already back to my eyes on the floor

Projecting a different time against the planks

The pictures help fill in the blanks
