What day is it? And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time

Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

All of the things that I want to say just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping on words
You've got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here

Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

There's something about you now
I can't quite figure out
Everything she does is beautiful
Everything she does is right

Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

What day is it?
And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive

"You and Me" Lifehouse

THE TRUTH

The drops hit the top of her head and rolled down her face, dripping off her chin and soaking into her shirt. They fell straight down from the gray heavens above as if God himself was crying and the tears tapped against anything within range. She didn't take notice though. Even as she could see her breath through the rain, she didn't even shiver.

Her heart ached and she frowned in pain. Taking a deep breath, she looked up to the sky and closed her eyes. The rain came down steadily and she wasn't sure if she was still crying. She didn't have the energy to scream out loud like she felt she needed to. Trying to take another deep breath trying to calm her raged nerves. It got caught in her throat and shook her deeply.

"Syd?" A soft familiar voice asked her.

Swallowing, she shook her head and opened her eyes to see him standing in front of her. His hair was matted down on his forehead and his nice button down office shirt and slacks were soaked. He stood so still, his hands at his sides and his eyes staring at her.

"I can't." She replied, biting her lower lip in pain. She felt slightly sick and her heart sped up. "I can't… I don't know what to do."

A car passed by them, splashing a deep puddle up and getting her gym shoes even more wet. She looked down, but wasn't concerned about her soaked feet. It just gave her a reason not to keep her strength up in order to look composed. Closing her eyes again, she listened to his breathing and the way the rain hit the asphalt beneath her shoes.

He wrapped his arms around her and hugged her, giving her so much warmth that her whole body shook in relief. She didn't have to act strong anymore because she felt so safe in his arms. Wrapping her arms around his torso, she took another deep breath in and let it out slowly.

"What can I do?" She asked softly, too confused to figure it out.

Pulling away from her slightly, his hand gently guided her head up so that he could look at her. She searched his eyes to find something… find some way to deal with the pain that squeezed her so hard that she could barely breath.

"Shhhh, it's okay…" He told her. Then he pulled her back to his body and held her there. They stood there for so long that she forgot where she was. She rested her head tiredly on his shoulder and closed her eyes, closing out the world around her.
