And in my dreams we have time
The kind that doesn’t pass us by
We savor every second, it’s ancient between us, it lingers long after we
leave and it’s fine that we believe, every microscopic lie that builds a house
with no one inside. I wrap my arms around your body and plead with you to stay,
never out loud but it’s in the rhythm when we sway
I’m practically family and you’re staying put, it’s all on the table, it’s
said in every look
And I feel weak with fumes from the future
I feel tortured by the past, the pages filled with words, diary entries and every old photo album
Nothing came between us, it had all arrived long before
us, I square up to take it all on and you tell me not to take so long
No sad songs and many other rules
So many choices without the whole truth
There’s no end in sight, and I wonder the most mediocre things, like will your sister come to know my name, but it escalates, can we stay sane? Can I stop
time when we’re alone? Make believe, with no place to be, I’ll play with your
hair if you drive towards the sea
