James - Dear John lyrics

So long, I lie here entwined like a helix
Don't know where I begin, where you end
How long do we go on trying to feed it
I just know, I just know
That this can't grow

I wrote this song to tell you I'm leaving
Afraid to say these words to your face
Must be better than a letter
A text or an email
My ride stops here at the end of the line

We stopped time, when we signed in
The year, of our Lord, 1999
With a kiss spitting out, spitting out
Time lines from the moment we locked eyes at
The station our hours got synchronized
Two reduced to one life, forever proposed
Wicked like a land mine?

I wrote this song to tell you I'm leaving
Afraid to say these words to your face
Must be better than a letter
A text or an email
My ride stops here at the end of the line

Every kiss has lost it's flavor
I'm not proud of my behavior
Beached on rock, thought that it was land
Lost respect, love departed
What was fresh, we took for granted
Need to rely on more than just a friend

I wrote this song to say that I'm leaving
Afraid to say these words to your face
Must be better than a letter
A text or an email
My ride stops here at the end of this line
