We’ll keep the lights down low
So that our scars don’t show
The purple on my knee and the velvet on your dress will fade into black
As the Lightning song will begin to serenade the airwaves
Rain like fragmented memories clash upon my window sill
As you tell me about where it all went wrong
I sit still but ever attentive
And listen to all the things you said but never meant
I see beauty for the first time in the purest form
Like arrows shot at a vicious storm
It’s useless to think that I’m shaken
I’ve heard it all before
Felt it all before
Bled it all before
As I digress we finished a bottle of wine
And think about how time is a bittersweet human construct
That seems to grab us by the neck
Every now and again
I hope you know that you’re my best friend
Something that I’ll make sure doesn’t fade with trial
You say you don’t know why but you wish you didn’t agree to come to this place
And I resonate with that
We are toasted and naive
As we run out onto the street
Allow our feet to run through puddles exposing cracks on the sidewalk
Ignoring the nearby lightning
You say you don’t care for the sting but more for the release
I couldn’t help but agree
