lyrics

We kept impressive collections as kids
Everything from bottle caps to bandages
Stored pennies behind the door,
Kept rocks at the back of the drawer,
We rarely reached for them

But we think of them now
In old peanut butter jars,
Glaring up with dusty frowns
Such a mess—
What should we collect next?

We drank hot chocolate on the bed
Grew warm and sweet as daytime flew
We saw the ceiling lights as misplaced stars

Contorting like an ampersand
We joined our constellation hands
The sun would have to reach to stand us up

“do you want to know me?”

We laughed until we both resolved
To drink my first-time alcohol
But poured it down the drain, and drew a bath

We smiled and locked the bathroom latch
With egg-white eyes, as evening hatched,
Reached forward for her back as we fell down

In harmony
Not ready to go yet

“want go to my bed?
do you want to know me?”

But when we’re far apart and our love goes blind
Only laughter can keep us over the line
And I regret when I made a joke about dying
And over the phone heard the faintest of crying

I just want to get off
Off the line, off the clock—

I pushed the cork into the wine,
Sucked down quick sips with bitter cries,
Drunk as the day I was born

I folded up all seven times
And pawed away the ninth of lives
My old collected thoughts stashed far away

The honesty:
Thumbs-up as my thumb bled

“can we go to my bed?
i’ve never felt so sleepy
never felt so sleepy
never felt so…”

I’m sorry that I’m so
Distressed—
But are you really trying your best?
