dancing in his candy lavender skies
touching heaven cuz we're that high
he's zeroed in on my heartbeat
so I guess this is goodbye

cruising down the coast all night
Heaven's Highway, baby I'll drive
I was put here by the dusk
I've never seen the sun rise

come on baby, I know you're hurt
I've followed you to the ends of Earth
and whatever's waiting beyond
when we become the stars' dirt

don't you see? it's dark and it's deep
and we all love it, it lulls us to sleep
bet you I hold it when I fall asleep
bet you don't know how far it seeps

see him
sipping Arizona
driving by the
circle K
on your way home
but you leave him alone

used to think you're tough
thought you knew enough
sticking to the walls
praying on good luck
boy you're no savage
you're just a softie

never got to know
what could have been
play the scenarios
when you're stuck in bed
why are you so sad?
ain't it just too bad?

is
it
too
late
to
know
you
?

pretty soon
we'll be on different coasts
building new homes
and I'll only see you
through the window
on my iPhone

it's funny
cuz I just deleted
my accounts
but this time
next year
I'll be living
so cool

you'll
wish
you
got
to
know
me
ty rant Apr 2020
Nothing ever happens
In our cul-de-sac
At the edge of the world
We stood and we watched
Our cities fade to black
No one spoke
Lost all our words

Went home that night as any other
To the same stucco houses lined neatly together

Resumed our routines the next morning
To school, to work, to home, to bed, to sleep, to nothing

Eighty weeks and counting
Mondays turn mundane
One eighty weeks and counting
Sundays feel more dazed
Four eighty weeks and counting
Still no one speaks, nothing to say

Some nights I think
About the girl across the street
The light she keeps on
In the dark's peak

Some days I glimpse
The girl across the street
The looks we exchange
When our eyes meet

Pebble tap, pebble tap
On her window
Let's get out of this town
Let's drive, let's go

But that never happens
In our cul-de-sac
At the edge of the world
We just fade to black
ty rant Apr 2020
Watching my head run with the wolves
I'm never ever not alone
You say goodbye, you're sailing the seas
And you'll see see me leave with the breeze

I plunged my mind through the night
Keeping our flame bright
And I never felt so alive
Said I never felt so alive

Baby, you make me feel so divine
You're like my God's design
Just take the wheel I'll say I do
Cuz I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna live without you

Cruising your shades of blue
Somehow beats greeting black
So don't be going ways you can't
See me when you turn back

I'll plunge my mind through the night
Reading the stars in the sky
And we'll be saved by daylight
Said we'll be safe by daylight

Baby, you make me feel so divine
You're like, my God's design
Just take a knee
I'll say I do
Cuz I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna live without you

— The End —
