Spinning Backwards Since

So what's the difference between loving someone and being in love Could it be that love is just another mystery best left to detectives I'm a detective myself but I stay away from crime scenes It's reality and fantasy that puzzles me Is it a reality that I could be in love I feel it could be so but the radar is a half stone throw away from falling on me I guess I'll just simply call it love I know it sounds far-fetched, it seems way too distant way too mis-worded Guess love has two parts; is the barrier broken What step do I lie in I've only pushed my way through a wall finding myself now in an enclosed cave If I walk in a straight line, I pray I won't be crushed Sounds simple enough because I'd do anything I'd do anything to keep the current status I've established I've made a name for myself in a different heart My name was never written on mine A vulture could own it when I'm finished My uses for it wouldn't be bothered anymore I need it now, as a gift; it's already branded Tied to a string, engraved in stone Etched with a verse of love Invincible, unrestricted, indestructible, immobile Though it's still miles away from where I sit here today There's still time to kill; two years worth without a future Only because I'm not thinking about it now; no not now My thoughts are elsewhere this day Because my world has been spinning backwards since Spinning backwards since this situation has turned this old world upside down Spinning backwards since I'm in love with the moments Spinning backwards since I've said those words Spinning backwards since she said forever and always Spinning backwards since I replied always and forever Spinning backwards just because she's proved to be what I wished for in my daydreams Spinning backwards since... spinning backwards since... spinning backwards since... Spinning backwards since I wish forever was long enough to keep her within the boundaries of my loving embrace Spinning backwards since everything, everything finally makes sense Spinning backwards since we both declare that we are everything another world to explore, to each other
