I wonder how many of your freckles
Are freckles
And I wonder how many of your freckles
Are embellishments
And I wonder how many of your freckles
Are just reminders.
I see you, sweet, sweet heart.

I’m busy with your friends downtown
Only one rotation before I buy the rounds
And we talk about all the bands
All my mistakes are well within my hands

I took my ring off because it got too heavy on my finger
I don’t think bees know that they die after they get rid of their stinger
Happy Birthday

X
That feeling is embering through my chest again,
Cause that drug makes everything focused and everyone a friend.

They are just motels
repaying a debt
So don't be a fool thinking
loyalty
Is just living quietly in their
head;
Only coming out for drops
of affection
Of everything you’re about to lose
This will be the most painful

Laying in your bed
                      There with the lights off
      On a Thursday morning with no coffee
I started missing you.

Three nights is a long time
                        To wait for my favorite excuse
      Knock first then to ask for melatonin
We know I don’t have to.

I’m listening to your solfège
                          Tuesday just after therapy
       Wondering how lucky we both have been
To have been stumbled upon.

Leaving you at Hartsfield
                            I felt what I would consider
        A speck of a sliver of what you meant
To be left undone.

In the kitchen you’d said
                             I’ve never felt that feeling
          And I’ll never feel what you feel
But I want to learn you forever.

You are crying after hours
                              When you break yourself
            You know you break me too
Every ****** time.
I don't mind
Time and time again

“I'm of the mind
Your dispassion made you smarter,
Nothing of none.
Just a wandering of the slower.

That god of arrogance went from
thoughts to in your bloodstream.
Behind your eyes.

Shows the difference between the
life you lead and need,
The life you want and need.”
Born to live and work and search.
