ALMOST JUST ENOUGH

Moonrise or a streetlight

From the backseat

Does it matter either way?

Drifting through the distance

As the music

Leads me slowly through the day

Changing of a season

If I could, I’d keep the world

From crashing in

Hold you ‘til the moment

That you’re called

To push out further than you’ve been

I guess this thing I’m on about

Is the way we choose our diamonds from the rough

Which ones are worth the memories that we make

And which are almost just enough?

Still, what’s left to say of the passing of time

That hasn’t all been said before?

Only that it’s my turn to feel it brush by

And soon enough it will be yours

I guess what keeps me up at night

Is the way you’ll choose your diamonds from the rough

Can I be worth the memories that you’re making -

At least almost just enough?

Moonrise or a streetlight

Through a window

Shining silver at the seams

So long to the shadows

As the music

Leads you slowly to your dreams
