Silent Acknowledgement

Stepped outside of the bar to find you sittin'
The smoke from your cigarette in my eye
I can't remember the day we started drifting
Or even why

When I was part of the life that you were living
You'd show me all the designs in your head
Time was less of a thief and more a prison
That's what you said

Now all the nights we lied in confidence
Hide in a silent acknowledgement

And biking home in the dark I started thinkin'
About all the lines in the sand I have drawn
Will I keep riding the path of least resistance
Into the dawn

Where all the nights we cried in confidence
Hide in a silent acknowledgement
Or muster up the guts to say I miss
Swimming in your stream of consciousness
