Some days I feel like I’ve spent a quarter of my life waiting for the wrong train.
But I don’t mind the time in between
sometimes i mistake my shadow for my light
but i don’t mind the grey spots in between
i fell asleep where you slept
and dreamt that i fell asleep under the ocean
i knew i’d drown if i didn’t wake up
but i kept telling myself, just a little longer
i wondered if my sister was laughing above the surface
we were at the pool and i dove under
and there were bubbles everywhere
and i realized i couldn’t find my way up
so it turned into the ocean
and i fell asleep
and it reminded me of that time when i was ten and i jumped into the river
and i didn’t think id ever find my way out again
