it always comes to us
in times of inconvenience

brand new feelings
from a never ending tree

but how i'd wait for you still, then
i'd never do to another

how it feels is always gone
except for the parts we embrace

and how i'm willing to lend you a hand to shore
when the water's cold again

and how i'm willing to wait on a beach house
till we're finished waiting

for the rain to stop
or just to stare at the waves

how daunting it's always been

but it gives us time to think

you, to take a shower
maybe peace till you warm your skin

me, a million other ways to describe your pearly face
once you're done

oh, please be quick
i have so much to say
but very shy with my skill

please be quick
lest i turn cold too
