a song i haven’t heard since october
plays merrily in my ears
and sends my heart racing
she sang it with soft subtleties
that danced round my head;
she was a really good singer
within those white, blue, green walls
i hear her voice
serenading in the shower
running water drowns out the melody
and i try to listen;
it is the only good in this place
the day i left was the day i broke ties with her voice
i wasn’t meant to fall in love with it
so i quickly fell out
today i heard the song in a foreign octave
not music to my ears, no;
it sent me into a panic
i never want to hear it again.

today i heard the song in a foreign octave
