The Times You've Come

In the time we've known

That we each are a part of one another

We've lost as much as we have won

And as our lives have grown

We have found that it only brings us pain

That hangs on to the things that we have done

Still I love the times you've come

When you went away

Taking all that I'd built my false road on

I dropped my life and couldn't find the pieces

Now you come and go

And it's hard but I feel my strength returning

We'll see how far this new road reaches

We'll see a little more each time we come

Now everybody's gonna tell you it's not worth it

Everybody's gotta show you their own thing

You might try to find your way up around it

But the need for love will still remain

Now we're lying here

So safe in the ruins of our pleasures

Laughter marks the place where we have fallen

And our lives are near

So it wouldn't occur to us to wonder

Is this the past or the future that is calling

You know I've loved these times you've come.
