So the last chapter in this whole thing. Here's the link to the song.

Enjoy.


Waiting for the bus stop

Waiting for the concrete blacktop to settle down

Long enough for me to get off and get a little ground

I'm ready for the sea change

Helpless felt this coming from a mile away

And now you're looking at me babe, and how we'll separate if we can

Cause I still count on one hand the number of good men I know,



I looked up at Vechs. He looked down at me.

“Are you ok?” I asked.


It’s like I’m standing on the edge with just a telephone wire

Trying to get to you first to say the world’s on fire

Holding my breath until I know you’re alright because the water will only rise

When will you realize

You must become an island

You must become an island

You must become an island

And see for yourself that that’s what I am



A piece of rock fell from the roof.

“This place is falling apart.” She said. A boulder fell from the top and blocked the exit.


You always dirty up the windows

If you keep ‘em at bay that way no one’s gonna surprise you by getting too close

Anybody but me though

You’ve made exceptions to you rules

And now we’re staring down truth neither one of us wants to know



“We can’t get out, Vechs.” I said. “We won’t live.”

“Oh.” He looked at me.



It’s like I’m standing on the edge with just a telephone wire

Trying to get to you first to say the world’s on fire

Holding my breath until I know you’re alright because the water will only rise

When will you realize

You must become an island

You must become an island

You must become an island

And see for yourself the horizon is all we have

The horizon is all we have


“I love you, Relly.” I said. She looked up at me, surprised.

“I love you too, Vechs.” I leaned down and kissed the top of her head.

“One dance?” I said. She smiled. I took her hand and we danced around the falling rocks.



Holding my breath until I know you’re alright because the water will only rise…



As we danced the rocks fell, but none hit us.

They fell around us, but didn’t hit.

They never did. We lived.

And we just danced.

The end.
