arboretum

I could get used to this, you said to me
Late one afternoon in early springtime
We took the long way home; through the arboretum
To tell all the trees our problems, as though they were listening
But who's to say they're not
We throw stones into the river to fill the void
Until the authorities tell us, "this kind of behaviours not permitted"
And I know this kind of silence would send your skin crawling
If I were someone else

this liminal state

There were times when this space was filled with more than silence
When every word that we whispered could vibrate the walls
Now I'm alone in this centre-ville apartment
And it's been several days since I took your calls
Now, you should know this isn't nothing personal
You see, I haven't left my bed in days
The moon waxes and wanes just like she's supposed to
And I watch, paralyzed in this liminal state
But I don't miss you anymore
Oh, and I'm feelin' fine
And as it turns out
You're the last thing on my mind
These days
Sometimes I wish I could forget all these moments
Just wrap them up and ship them someplace warm
Or throw them into the ocean in a bottle
So one day they'll wash up on a distant shore
But I don't miss you anymore
Oh, and I'm feelin' fine
And as it turns out
You're the last thing on my mind
These days
Cause when I'm feeling down and out
And my hearts all full of doubt
You bring me back
Oh, you bring me back to the ground
When my heads all stuck in the clouds
Darlin' you lift me up
Oh, you lift me up
And you hold me there until I'm proud
Darlin', bless you're little heart

You're like a moonbeam
The way you light up the night sky
And even when I close my eyes
I can see you
Oh, and it's easy
For them to look at us and say
That this is probably just a phase
Cause they don't want to feel it
And oh, wouldn't they be lucky
To get a piece of what we got
A piece of what we got
And I know in the way you hold my gaze
That you don't look at him that way
You don't look at him that way
This feeling is foreign
The space between us is electric dust
What we're doing feels deeper than lust
Oh, it's atmospheric
She's like a sunbeam
Eclipsing me with every word that she says
We always knew we'd be more than friends
Though they tried to break us
And oh, this transfixion seems to know no bounds
I still think of you when he's around
Do you think of me when he's around?
