Written by Sand Snowman

lyrics

No, I never factored in this change
The plans had been made, foundations laid
I was safe and sure, secure
So it seemed

I struggled when there was no one else
And grown to depend upon myself
Learned to live
On basic means and simple needs - a life complete

I thought I was through with love affairs
the endless demands of being a pair
being compelled to share, and care - to be there

And all of the chaos that entails
the feelings that fling you off the rails
Damning you to compromise and speechless lies

It's been 7 days since you passed my way
Now everything's changed, my whole world is rearranged
I had been at home with being alone
But now there's no peace, there's no hiding place
Not one single space where your face won't follow me
And now I'm hunted, at war with myself

So now I sit staring at the phone
Are you on your own, are you at home?
Dare I think you think of me - can't believe

I'm back in that place of desperate hope
A playful pup straining at a rope, who would jump
Into your arms as into (self) harm

It's been 7 days since you passed my way
Now everything's changed, my whole world is rearranged
I had been at home with being alone
But now there's no peace, there's no hiding place
Not one single space where your face won't follow me
And now I'm hunted, at war with myself

It's been longer than I would care to say
And I've grown accustomed to life as disarray
A mess of sorrows with sprinklings of joy
It's hard to believe we withstand the strain
And work our way through every fatuous display
Rather than shudder - And run for cover
