Staring for too long
Rooftop sunrise
Is not old yet
But I’m late again
Asking for relief
Flooded nostalgia
Is too much these days
And yet still in tune
Who are you now
Greater love
Is gone for good
To the back of your mind
wearing her white gloves
she grabs me without a touch
i look at her eyes
i ask her
do you see my heart?
it is so full
for you
do you see my eyes?
they stare so deeply
into you
do you see my love?
i cannot be
without you
mist falls over her
hair lightens the night
she turns away
my heart turns to junk
youth fleeting from inside my body
but staying true on the outside
reasons my world is contrasted
treated the choices
consumed by dreams
neither work favorably
cold to touch
I brought you down with me
shook my worlds until collision
truth be told then
live so graceful ascend to the knowledge
we find the surface
we find each other
i've been lost before. i've been left alone before. i've been so far from anyone i know that i couldn't find a single thing that reminded me of home.
except for you. i think of you.
it's hard to tell someone you love that it is time to be done. when they care so much, love so much and give everything they can for you. but when that time comes, your heart breaks. it breaks more than can be explained. you disappear. you become lost. left alone. so far from anyone that you can't find a single thing that reminds you of home.
except you. i come back to you.
and so, we counted. books on the shelf, invoices from screen printers, how many empty cans of la croix were ready to be returned. all of it kinda made sense to him i guess. it was gonna all accumulate and then be apart of something big and cool–to a city already going through a phase of minor gentrification i’m surprised it’s not just another starbucks.
but hey here we are, all these people divided by numbers. what they can afford, how many figures are on their paycheck. we can’t live without it but i don’t want to know how it goes down. somehow we don’t have to know each other’s name.
I've listed all the things I need to take
Probably will forget my toothbrush
As I do every single time
But I will not forget the picture of you and my mother
I'll always need a reminder
To always be aware
I hope I enjoy myself this time
I will look down
Upon all landscapes
Upon all corners of life
And see the reason i'm still here
Through everything around
Passed on by you
I will feel the warm sun
Raise goosebumps on my skin
I will feel the warm sun
And ask to have you here again
