i want your words
to become one hand gripping
the swell below

I want to be your
favorite song
on the B-side
of and old record.

                And I want to
    inspire you
to tap your feet.

                  The same way you
make my heart thump
         in an off-tempo beat.

I called you home for 3 years,
now return to your urban streets
to say goodbye.  

Thank you, love you.

I often find
       myself in
                situations
      where I feel
                   as if I'm running
out of time.
          
           but I've realized that I'm
only seventeen...
      
              And time is all
      I
       really
           have.

Each night it's ll the same
I think back and I can't hold it
I can't cry and I can't show it
I don't know what to do
Everything I try can't help
No matter what I do I've already lost
If I ended it nothing would be accomplished
Each day is a new page in this book
And yet these past chapters are the same
The pain
Heartbreak
Tears
And emotional distress
I can't keep this up
No one can help except her and I can't go to her for this
She is the cause
She is the one I lean on and I can't go to tonight.

There's nothing clean about
A break that nobody
Wants.

It's as ***** as dirt,
As ****** as boxing,

And it hurts more than
Having anything else
Broken.
