Just to feel the city kiss
Kiss, my skin
The club cars rolling stops signs
Preying cop cars, skipping white lines
Passing the street
We walked our first night
Like stepping in water wearing socks
Feeling the pain seeping
Curtains smudge black
Through walls
Toward crashing waves below
Awaiting
For me to evolve
Back into a little boy
I dissolve
The club cars rolling stops signs
Preying cop cars, skipping white lines
Passing the street
We walked our first night
Like stepping in water wearing socks
Feeling the pain seeping
Curtains smudge black
Through walls
Floorboards steep, creep
Under these city streets
It would never be the same
I never knew
The way we met
The hour in your frame
Burns on my hands
Memory sings so loud
The way you created a home
Naming our children today
Throwing away tomorrows
Cause I swear you had your hand
On mine too
The years ago
I dreamt of you
Before you finally came
I never wanted you to know
The biggest fantasy in the land
Your love
My hand, your man
Why couldn’t you just
Understand
Somehow I never told you
Scaring so easy to see
The flames you raised
Would eventually burn even me
Under these city streets
It would never be the same
I never knew
The way we met
The hour in your frame
Burns on my hands
Memory sings so loud
The way you created a home
Naming our children today
Throwing away tomorrows
Cause I swear you had your hand
On mine too
The years ago
I dreamt of you
Before you finally came
I never wanted you to know
The biggest fantasy in the land
Your love
My hand, your man
Why couldn’t you just
Understand
Somehow I never told you
Scaring so easy to see
The flames you raised
Would eventually burn even me
Like a new family
I would never be able to keep
For days you would turn away
I seemed to hurt us so
I never could tell us when to let go
I thought you were that ship
The distance now your lips
Some goliath rescue liner
Strong bow and full stout
Coming to take me home
After so many years of toil
I spoiled in the fact
I would finally make it home
That cold day
Smoldered flames
February called for love
But we must’ve
Just missed the call
Somehow we lost touch
With ourselves
And our dream
Somewhere
Someone let go
Such a dreary morning
The day in my gut
I would have to jump ship
Another mid journey test
Like all the rest
My heart just bore and sank
Walking warped and wooden that plank
From heaven to hellish mud
Another memory of suspended love
Your tiny hand against my side
The ocean takes away
With lips, your eyes
I would never be able to keep
For days you would turn away
I seemed to hurt us so
I never could tell us when to let go
I thought you were that ship
The distance now your lips
Some goliath rescue liner
Strong bow and full stout
Coming to take me home
After so many years of toil
I spoiled in the fact
I would finally make it home
That cold day
Smoldered flames
February called for love
But we must’ve
Just missed the call
Somehow we lost touch
With ourselves
And our dream
Somewhere
Someone let go
Such a dreary morning
The day in my gut
I would have to jump ship
Another mid journey test
Like all the rest
My heart just bore and sank
Walking warped and wooden that plank
From heaven to hellish mud
Another memory of suspended love
Your tiny hand against my side
The ocean takes away
With lips, your eyes
Wind blown hair
My feet began to crank
My feet began to crank
Toward crashing waves below
Awaiting
For me to evolve
Back into a little boy
I dissolve
You promised forever
But I can’t find you anywhere
Today
And to be honest I haven’t
Seen you in weeks
My face just sinks
The saltwater
As deep under the sea
Falling from this plank
But I can’t find you anywhere
Today
And to be honest I haven’t
Seen you in weeks
My face just sinks
The saltwater
As deep under the sea
Falling from this plank
