Oh for the day,when I sway to drift again
and you find me, but I'm far away
will it shade the days
we spent on your family's lake
and this life is running me in circles
overlapping sloppy words
that lend themselves to different lives
In different tenses of love alligned
and the word memory is poison, but it tastes divine
Like the time you couldn't leave the dock
and I knew something inside of you was dying
and when we heard the songs about breaking every clock
but we forgot to forget the hands of time
Did I know you best all along?
Were we really discrete?
laying in streets
spending more than our share in backseats
of cars the color of coldplay songs
Like the times I used what I could
and you let me excite you
above where they stood
and sometimes I wonder too
If only they knew then
Maybe it would be different
If we ever fit in, with the animals we love
and the one that gets attacked by them
and the ones that were, where the black squirrels live
And the fruit you cut born from fields forever
In the torso of Adam and the legs of Fitch
how the thread that covered us meant so much then
and the one we pulled over us in your basement
hiding truths of rooftops and rain and lovers attention
waking up in hawaiian boundaries
the days when they laughed
at our awkwardly pressed and innocent bodies
And we never really had a chance between blue skies
between brown eyes and long goodbyes
to have something we had to hide
I'm sorry, If I let you go
I'm sorry if I missed your eyes
I got lost in lies, of yours and mine
and somewhere between our lines
a boy and girl live happily
ever and ever and ever after
And who am I, or who are you
To tell them that oughtn't to?
