Save Me

So will this be the very last of
all goodbyes and hellos that we'll share
in truth and in fact I am not ready to part with

Excuse my choosing to still stay here
'Neath the shadows of the olive trees
and the grass for forever company
At least I know they will last
and not burn out before my fire does

*Will you save me for the last time
I'm drowning waterless on the surface clear
Will you rescue me for the last time
I'm suffocating while I breathe in the clean air
Pull me out of the still currents
Swimming me away from the center of the mirror
Save me from myself.

So will I ever get the first chance recycled again
I know the wheel has spun and spun before in numerous
but I'll never get over, don't think I'll ever get over
the first time

The age of innocence has died and long lived out its lifespan
but the coming of dawn has never felt welcome
I guess it is always the way with things new,
unknown and inexperienced

*But will you save me for the last time
Though I'm least deserving of your assistance
Don't need reminding of it I know
as one whose wisdom is unquestioned
But this is why you have to save me now
Rescue me out of this desert of
Plastic happiness
I'm suffocating while I breathe in the cool air
Pull me out of the still currents
and save me from myself.
