righteously

Walking away was the hardest path
But, always, my path led right back to you
Farthest I got was around the block
I turned around not knowing what to do.

Lightning lit up the walkway
Rain poured down from the Alaskan skies
Thunder stormed our paths
But in the end it was you and I.

You and I
It seems to be
You and I--
Righteously.

Knowing time is ticking
I cannot watch the clock turn
I took it down off the wall
Afraid of holes it would burn

Into our already fragile time.
But your secret smile makes me forget
That now is passing to then
Knowing we will leave without regret.

You and I
It seems to be
You and I--
Righteously.

Today turns into tomorrow,
As the present cannot last
But it leaves a sadness behind
Soon today will memory’s past.

Tonight, tonight, I can hold you in my arms
Time will stop tonight or at least slow down
We can keep life at bay here in your bed
Tonight, tonight, time will stop, time will slow down.

You and I
It seems to be
You and I--
Righteously.
