The Catalyst

Today I sat down to write home to you
My words were silver on a gold envelope
Lines from favorite dead poets what I remember the most
And yelling in streetlights being a ghost

I thought that I could stay
I thought by now I'd be someone different anyway
You said "I'm sorry" so I said "sorry" too
Is the ink deep enough to change the mood
So many miles away from you

You said we love ourselves too much
And I still think it's true
Spin in second circles and I've been flying too
Felt like scared hearts aren't much help
On nights I wasn't by your side
'Cuz I'm a lover still learning what it means to ride or die
I was lost to the stars
And I don't like to tell lies
So I canceled my ticket and took to the skies

I thought that I could stay
I thought by now I'd be someone different anyway
You said "I'm sorry" so I said "sorry" too
Is the ink deep enough to change the mood
So many miles away from you

Pressed the red button to speed away time
Still glad I had it: the moments I called you mine

Today I sat down to write home to you
My hands were bloody and shook as I wrote
Lines from favorite dead poets what I remember the most
