Everything from Everything by Huge Shark

EVERYTHING (V. Polichar)

You glide along the runway of the road,
imagine that you’ll take off into space
and never have to run another race —
You step out in the street,
and smile just before you're losing everything.

The sun is moving fast over the field;
you’re chasing it the way you always do.
You’ll never catch it up, but then you know
the bottle’s on the bar,
and no one there to watch you losing everything.

I’m looking over your old family photos
to try to track the heartbreak in your smile;
but you keep shining out,
without the anger and the doubt,
so maybe you were happy for a while.

The moon is no escape — it lights the way.
You try not to look backwards through the day,
to keep your head down, just keep moving on —
but lost there in the snow,
from your face I know you're losing everything.

(And I stand here in your shadow
and cannot reach your hand —
I’m losing everything.)
