This Rink That We're In

This rink that we're in
I slip while you skid
Hit my back on the rim
Broke my heart just for kicks, oh
Oh
Hey

This dream that I find myself sinking in
Six months to a flight to Boston
Bet I'll hear you say "awesome
She's finally gone and"
Oh
Hey

This light pollutes the star in me
I'll keep on singing my broken dreams
The two things that kept me up left me too
I'm confused

But I keep my skates and I move
(Bet I'll hear you say "awesome")
Oh
(Just for kicks, oh)
Oh
Oh
(She's finally gone and)
Hey

This room where we sit and smoke
Unprepared, lungs are full and heart is shallow
The vibe is here, it's got me mellow, oh
Oh
Hey, hey

This promise I kept to myself
I'd love you like nobody else
Until I didn't feel it
Guess my time is up
I'm feeling, no more
No more
Hey

This light pollutes the star in me
I'll keep on singing my broken dreams
The two things that kept me up left me too
I'm confused

But I keep my skates and I move
(Bet I'll hear you say "awesome")
Oh
(Just for kicks, oh)
Oh
Oh
(She's finally gone and)
Hey

Bet I'll hear you say "awesome"
Just for kicks, oh
She's finally gone and

We sat grown quiet at the name of love
We saw the last embers of daylight die
And in the trembling blue-green of the sky
A moon, worn as if it had been a shell
Washed by time's waters

I had a thought for no one's but your ears
That you were beautiful

And yet we'd grown
As weary-hearted as that hollow moon

(Thank you for listening to the whole
project. I hope it was worth your while)
