Bluff

You're standing a couple feet too close
On the edge of this cliff that we're staring off
There's no room for you to go

I want to tell you not to leave
But there's something in your eyes that scares me off
It's so cold and absolute

So here we are again
Arriving at something ever changing
But we'll always love the same
While the walls pretend
They're not a part of something ancient
That could never be contained

You know I can't stand on my own
I'll keep calling till I wear you out
Write a note and slip it underneath your door

I'm driving with the windows down
To your house 5 or 10 years from now
We'll keep drifting apart till then

So here we are again
Arriving at something ever changing
But we'll always love the same
While the walls pretend
They're not a part of something ancient
That could never be contained

Freckles
Painted on
Your face
Like a starry night
I can't seem to find
Constellations die
Nations rise and fall
In our corner of the world
A lot more goes on unsaid

Stay up
Laughing at ourselves
Singing pink + white
Imagine we're the same
I think you'd be surprised
Lying on the floor
Rounding in to form
Circling ourselves
Here we are again
Arriving at something ever changing
But we'll always love the same
Watch the walls pretend
They're not a part of something ancient
That could never be contained
