Intertwine - Green Tea

You watched me from afar
Through my window counting stars
You called out to me with a warning
That I could not take to heart
That night, I let you fall into my arms
Disregarding all the clockwork traps I'd set and left here from the start

But in the morning I set them off
Now I am trapped in a place where every day becomes
One of those days I wish I could turn back time
Knowing what I can change and what I have to let pass

If I'd kept shut the window
Would you have never called my name?
Would you have kept counting stars undisturbed
By all of my failed attempts to keep from doing the same?

Did the trap spring when you opened my door?
Were the hinges connected to something?
Some sort of wire hooked up to my bloodstream?
Or did I set it off because I couldn't find it in me to refuse?
Could I have shut it down if I learned how it all ends?
Would it be better if we'd never met?

Silence
I'm torturing myself with these useless thoughts of things I cannot change
Every second is a door locked behind us
What difference can I make shut in with my mistakes?
Now can I disarm everything that lies before me?
Or should I run away, should I pretend it's not real?

But does it matter if I go or stay?
I've lost so much either way

You were once tempted by this atmosphere
But now your telescopes have seemed to pull away
And if your words should fail to keep me safe
I'm so sorry, I know it's not your fault

I've made mistakes, and I know you're not to blame
But it's hard to keep that in mind when I'm trapped here in this place
Waiting for your eyes to stray from the stars
And to my window again

I tell myself that I'll be fine
So I can survive another night
Dancing softly around the traps I've laid here in my way

But in the morning I set them off
And I am trapped in a place where every day becomes
One of those days I wish I could turn back time
Have it all go my way and learn nothing at all
