I was a train wreck And he was a sinking ship. I had already crashed, and I was already burning But he still had time, he was only a little damp.
Its so obvious to everyone Looking in that all he has to do is swim to shore. But he's so sad that he thinks his only option is to drown.
I told him that he doesn't have to sink, just like I didn't have to crash. But he told me to stop talking and to go start fire to someone else,
But at night while we talk on the phone I pull him from the tides and he extinguishes my flames. I tell him this is how family works but in the morning he jumps right back into the water and lights a match to my heart.
