candlelight

I fall in love every weekend
And come crashing down again
To the soundtrack of some pretentious song
Saying we shouldn't be friends
I live a thousand lives
And I don't tell a soul
Honestly, in my opinion
This reality's getting old
I want to treat you like a stranger
Like green meadows and thatched roofs
Like the recesses of my mind
When I have nothing to do

The sky was on fire last night (If you squint hard enough)
Smoke billowing from the mouths of the lost and searching
(The colors in the sky meld into one)
Yearning for something greater than the sum
(I broke my shoes and walked down DP barefoot today)
Of another day they'll never forget
(The sand and glass did not
Phase me in the sharp way that the sky does)
But won't remember (It cuts me right in half)
When they next see the sun (I lay, begging for one more chance)

I feel there's something I'm supposed to say
But I can't think how to word it
So I'll just keep my mouth shut
Golden light embracing me like you never will
I want to watch you forever
Eyes closed in the bed of this truck
We communicate only by Spotify playlist
And Candlelight in my dreams

You bite your lip
Stare into the flames
Thinking of places I'll never go
Thoughts you'll never show
Worlds I'll never know
