"we can't stay here”
i am the shoulder on the highway
i am the roof of your car
i am the full moon who tries to lie to you
(these colors will last forever)
(this melting starless sky will never change)
the night air stumbles and slurs,
"i love you too, sarah"
i am climbing back in through the window
i am the blanket pulled tighter around your shoulders
i am your hot coffee from this morning, just colder
come back
tomorrow? i'll
be warmer,
and you'll want me again.

i am your hot coffee from this morning, just colder
