lyrics

LEAP YEAR

((( Man # 4 )))

We spoke our love the first time
February 28
But I refused to speak a word
Of her impending fate

I thought it might be better
If she didn't know
That at any sudden moment
She could go

I've won her love and lost her
For three times already, why?
I think I've paid the price already
Why does she have to die?

I thought it might be better
If He let her live
God is stubborn
But I know He must forgive
But how long does it take?

And so I waited
In terror for the year to pass
From what I gathered
A year's the longest we could last

A year had passed to the day
February 28
365 days passed her by
This had to be the date

She never lasted
Longer than a year
Which means this is the day
I've always feared

The 28th it came and went
My girl was still alive
A year had passed
I paid the price
Or else she would have died

I told her everything
'Cause she was fine
She said:
"It's February 29,
And Leap Year's almost over."

Afraid of dying
Within a day
She lost her mind
And so she leaped from
The tallest building she could find

[words & music by Sean Schuyler]
