Lucky Charms

The sun shines through you: emerald green
As you hang from the branch of your lover.
Just one mistake (or a windy day)
Will send you spinning to the ground to rediscover

How the sidewalk will smile with every step that you take
(while he's breaking the back of your mother).
Those stupid games we played as kids...
I'm older now.
I'll admit I'm afraid.
I keep telling my mom that I love her

In case god has a shitty sense of humor.

I swear I knew you,
If I've ever known anyone.
But people change (and ten years is a really long time).
I knew I still liked girls, but I liked you too.
I was certain that I could tell you
Anything (but that).

You asked me to play for your wedding,
But the words came out desperate and afraid.
Were you screaming from the future (distorted by time)?
Is it really a consolation
That you traded this life for an awkward disguise
That you found hanging in the closet?

Now the sidewalk will smile with every step that you take
(while reducing your colors to winter).
Seasons changed the way we did.
We're older now, I admit I'm afraid
That even to myself I'm a stranger.

Yes, god has a shitty sense of humor.
