When You Go - Ryan Scott Oliver

I know this can’t last

Of course, you’ll go

Yeah

Naturally we weren’t meant to be

We’re one act

Always been a fact, I know

So kid

With love a terminal condition

A passing temporal connection

Oh, I would die to know

What you’ll do when we’re through

When you go!

Will you be content

Wading where clearer shallows pool?

Will you call me friend

If I can swear to be cool?

I’ll be cool

When you go, when you go, oh lover

(Stay a while)

Now let’s talk of why

Hurts less that way

Will I be the shoe that a child outgrew?

Do we break 'cause I wouldn’t make you stay?

Okay, with love, a terminal condition

A passing temporal connection

Oh, I would kill to know

How you’ll be when you’re free

When you go?

Will you dream on us

As you retire to another bed?

Will you find your trust

And will I get to your head, to your head

When you go?

Oh lover

(Stay a while)

Oh, when you go, when you go

When you —

You, who live in your private light

You, who make all the loves of my past disappear

Do I wait it out

Put aside my doubt

Like an unread audience

Hoping at a tragedy?

Oh, God, I can’t let you go

Will you close your eyes

Never to see this, our fate at heel

If we love this lie

Maybe we can make it real?

Make it real

Here we go, oh, here we go

Here we go, here we go, here we go

Oh, here we go, here we go

Here we go

Life is made of risks

Love… Is the worst of them all
