Stuck

The keys are under the garden gnome Do let yourself in No need to knock There's nothing here to win The tea bags Are in the flower jar Please don't let the cat Wander off too far And remember The day And remember The way We smiled Do you remember Those October nights The locks and the lights And all the angry fights Do you remember the Ticktocking satellites? The Moon was always Your favorite thing Silver and pock-marked in the sky Now all I can think of Are the echoes of grey In my scribbled on goodbye My broken pencils Your broken sighs We left it all Inside our mismatched lives -Under the tables And on the stairs We said our prayers And I remember The day And I remember The way We cried Do you remember Those October nights The locks and the lights And all the angry fights Do you remember the Ticktocking satellites? Inside the house There are stars Blinking down from the ceiling And the cars are zooming Through the rooms Like abandoned heirlooms And you remember The day And you remember The way We lied Do you remember Those October nights The locks and the lights And all the angry fights Do you remember the Ticktocking satellites? The night is young You can still catch the last train To the Moon or to Spain I won't run after you I'm stuck in the slow lane Do you remember Those October nights The locks and the lights And all the angry fights Do you remember the Ticktocking satellites? I won't be coming after you I'm stuck in the slow queue
