All Your Days
In a six-foot hickory locker
In the basement of your school
The ghost of your first prom date
Saves a dance for you
In the backyard, in the laundry
Spectral in the breeze
All the girls you never kissed
Line the grass upon their knees
Away, away
You hope a new day has begun
Today, today's
All your days, plus one
In a tiny fold of gray flesh
In the rear left of your skull
The sweetest salt you tasted
The sandy touch you knew so well
In the streetlights soft as Christmas
In the back seat of your car
Your fingertips like candles
Your heart wet, red and raw
I know you tried to catch him
He slipped out like a balloon
And you smiled at the party
While he drifted past the moon
Away, away
You hope a new day has begun
But today, today's
All your days, plus one
Now they say it's California
Palo Alto, Santa Cruz
And that you called me guilty
You won't acquit
I am accused
If I acted out the dumb prince
Afraid to make the call
Well, you chose to the swallow water
And smeared your blood across my wall
Away, away
You hope a new day has begun
But today, today's
All your days, plus one
Away, away
You hope a new day has begun
But today, today's
All your days, plus one
Away, away
Away, away
Away, away
Away, away
Away, away
Away
Away, away
Away, away
Away, away
Away, away
Away, away
Away, away
Away
In the basement of your school
The ghost of your first prom date
Saves a dance for you
In the backyard, in the laundry
Spectral in the breeze
All the girls you never kissed
Line the grass upon their knees
Away, away
You hope a new day has begun
Today, today's
All your days, plus one
In a tiny fold of gray flesh
In the rear left of your skull
The sweetest salt you tasted
The sandy touch you knew so well
In the streetlights soft as Christmas
In the back seat of your car
Your fingertips like candles
Your heart wet, red and raw
I know you tried to catch him
He slipped out like a balloon
And you smiled at the party
While he drifted past the moon
Away, away
You hope a new day has begun
But today, today's
All your days, plus one
Now they say it's California
Palo Alto, Santa Cruz
And that you called me guilty
You won't acquit
I am accused
If I acted out the dumb prince
Afraid to make the call
Well, you chose to the swallow water
And smeared your blood across my wall
Away, away
You hope a new day has begun
But today, today's
All your days, plus one
Away, away
You hope a new day has begun
But today, today's
All your days, plus one
Away, away
Away, away
Away, away
Away, away
Away, away
Away
Away, away
Away, away
Away, away
Away, away
Away, away
Away, away
Away
