That Exact Way
By
Bruce Clifford
That exact way.
It’s how you behave.
I’m so afraid.
I am afraid.
That exact way.
Alone and betrayed.
Feeling unsure.
I don’t know anymore.
I just don’t know.
Is this all pointless and out of bounds?
Are we searching for dreams that can never be found?
Those memories stick to my dreams and all other things.
Are we still searching for moments inside our dreams?
That exact way.
Lost and afraid.
Circles in the night.
Another feeling takes flight.
That exact way.
It’s how you behave.
Promises we made.
The gifts that we gave.
Is this all pointless and out of bounds?
Are we searching for dreams that can never be found?
Those memories stick to my dreams and all other things.
Are we still searching for moments inside our dreams?
