I watched you kick your legs up & I watched you toss your arms out. I watched you scream & I watched your head fall back and fourth to a rhythm you were praying to. I watched your eyes melt into every word & I watched you clench your fists. I watched our best friends throw you in, I watched some kid throw you out. I watched your pores open as the lights hit your face & I watched the way your heart raced when it started to rain. I watched the floor open wide & spread itself outside. I watched you dance beneath the sky's cry. I watched you pause to count the stars. I watched your faith in this place unfolding. I watched your knees shake like they were begging. And I've never felt so much a part of anything. I've never felt so close to anyone. So push me in. And when they throw me out, push me harder. I've been here before. You can almost hear the tears in his voice as he's singing... like they fell from his cheeks and trickled into his mouth & now he's drowning and we can feel it. This is where we belong. This is where we're okay. And we'll all go for coffee at some ****** diner & chain smoke beside the fire when the music fades out. This love hurts because its fleading. We know we can't have this forever. It's slipping through our fingers. We're all growing up, going our separate ways & you said you'd die if things didn't change for you soon but I know a part of you wants to dance here forever. Let's be young tonight. Let's flail for all the kids we watched cry themselves to sleep for the last time. Let's throw elbows for all the ******* we loved too much who drowned their insides in chemicals when we were just kids. We don't sit at graves. We throw the grieving up into the crowd and carry them until their tears dry. This is where we're from. This is who we are & this is all we've got, all we do. But it's a lot more than it looks to you.
