As I Was Saying lyrics

As I was saying

just before you left the room,

before, before I assumed

that you might not come around...

As I was saying

just after I took my foot from

my mouth1 and put it back

on the ground...

Well, I don't want to disappoint you

and I don't want to disappear

from here or now or you.

This is worth saving

'cause the sum of us is more than us

if you add us up,

then subtract my lack of sleep.

'Cause my mind feels crazy

when all these thoughts come rushing in.

Should I be trusting them

or only let them be?

'Cause I don't want to disappoint you

and I don't want to disappear

from here or now or you.

Is it just a matter of time?

Does it even matter at all?

'Cause even if this story should fall

from the sky to the sea,

if I should fall,

would you fall down with me?

Would you fall with me?

Found my foundation,

it was underneath me all along

on this path I'm on,

now I never walk alone.

I've been erasing,

rewrote the second half like this

so my protagonist

might find his way back home.

And I don't want to disappoint you

and I don't want to disappear

from here or now or you.

No, not from here or now or you.
