these days i can see your face through two panes of glass and maybe even though my breath still shakes when you smile i can smile back and not be scared when im finally looking at you clear
because coming round that corner and seeing the back of your head where i know it always will be, at least for a few days more, thats all i need

maybe it's too late
but you know i wonder if you notice how when i sit next to you my knees shake
the same way they did on our last night by a radiator
i wasn't cold, i think you knew that

i'm using your favourite number as a reference again
for explaining why i fell in love
well what can you expect from a boy who sleeps twelve inches under his bed with a fireplace
to rest his head
to be closer to the ground and the sky at the
same time
and some days i'm using your birthday
when people ask me why i talk
the way i do
it's all i can think to say when
it's hard to get words out that don't have some
secret meaning
always leading back to you

i'll open you up
and unfold you like a map of the world
i can tell from the line that runs faintly
from your forehead and dark down
the centre of your lip
you haven't been opened in
a long time
and i'll be careful not to tear you at the seams
as i read like roads and state lines your dreams
i'll breathe in everything we are
starcrossed - anxious and waiting to start
until im tasting you from the front of my mind
to the back of my tongue

let's forget about our breathing
while everybody's sleeping
resting their tired magic heads
on bars and floors and broken beds
*i'll ask you to stay just a little longer
i'll ask you to speak just a little stronger*
well i know i talk like i'm a ghost
but god just let me get you close
and show you why i need you
the most
*medicine hands that keep me flying
with hips that scream maybe you're not lying*
and i know you like me better in the dark well
i think i like you better with your silhouette all stark
against the curtains letting streetlight in
while it dances on your starry sliver skin
my breath will dance across your starry silver skin

sacred and scared

*i sound so quiet when i ask you:
"show me what to do,
i just don't know what to do."*

somebody softly singing oh my heart, my heart
and i think about falling asleep
i think about nighttime air conditioning and bottled water
baltimore is lulling me to dreamland

phase 1:
sit on the outside of you, peeping through cracks
some days you'll catch me - and in these we lack
but some days i'll catch you staring back
phase 2:
see you and my heart breaks
i speak and my breath shakes
you smile and my stomach aches
phase 3:
i'm drunk,
so are you
go upstairs with him,
leave both me + a beer askew
i'll drink down fast until i'm ready to hear about you two

i'm thinking about your name and everything i love
i'm lying here half drunk still with you next to me
im thinking "god, how can i be here?"
i'm realising that it's you
that your breath pulling your chest up and down isn't a dream
i'm thinking "god, this isn't something i'm wishing?"
you're really here and how could this be anything else.
i'm thinking, "god, this amazing girl."
you're somebody i never wanted to stop figuring out even for a second
and you're here
i'm thinking i want to know you inside out.
i'm thinking about your name and everything i love
