save a little part

you slipped through my fingers, like water washing over sand, i'm stuck here in this desert, and i am wondering where i stand, just don't forget about me, i'm asking you, save a little part of you and me, that jealousy could have been mistaken, keep it burning in your memory, that mystery, that piece of yesterday, i'm chasing this feeling, it haunts me when i sleep at night, still searching for the meaning, it's not laid out in black and white, sit around wasting time, thinking about the rest of our lives, back when you were mine, all mine
