Phase

Music and Lyrics by Ethan Deppe

Count the years of wonder

Count the years of truth

Count the years of happy

Count the years of youth

Count the steps I’m walking

Far away from you

Trying not to think about

The day it all was through

All the steps I’m taking

Trying to pretend

One foot to the other

Waiting for the phase to end

I’m just counting passing moments

Waiting for the phase to end

Count the years of awful

Count the years of truth

Count the years of happy

When I was close to you

Count the joyful moments

Count them ‘till I cry

Inside I’m sill screaming

Outside asks the silent why

The orbit’s getting larger

Makes it hard to see

That things are so much harder

When you’re not here right next to me

But things were so much harder

When you were here right next to me

The question I keep asking

To my long lost friend

Are we wasting time

Will we ever start to mend

All the steps we’re taking

Trying to defend

Counting passing moments

Waiting for the phase to end

All the years we’re wasting

Yet we still pretend

That we don’t love each other

We’re waiting for the phase to end

And all the time we’re wasting

Waiting for the phase to end

The space keeps getting colder

But I still pretend

That I’m not getting older

Waiting for the phase to end

And time just keeps on passing

Waiting for the phase to end
