Honeydew

Hey, old girl
It's been a long, long time
And I don't know
What's been on
In your mind

But I feel traces
In the air
And you might feel them too
Or you might not care

I still see you
In cracks in the pavement
In the trails of the clouds
I don't forget to trace it

If I'm just nothing
But a phantom of hurt
Breaking silence
Well, I Hope
I'm not the first

Oh, Weigh me down
Your weight still holds
And it's not the last time
Or the first

Oh, crush me now
Still so bold
Like an old friend
A misdirected curse

Oh, that night
Still as fresh as Honeydew

Hey, old girl
I know your dad's been gone
like a stranger from some days
I haven't forgot

At least I tried to
Maybe I'm used to it
And I fear I've gotten colder
If I'm not

With only memory
From a kid who paid no mind
Time forgets what
I can't leave behind

Oh, Weigh me down
Your weight still holds
And it's not the last time
Or the first

Oh, crush me now
Still so bold
Like an old friend
A misdirected curse

Oh, that night
Still as fresh as Honeydew

You set yourself in
Like a coffee stain I can't get out
The hair in my throat
The rock in my shoe
The pain in my chest
The permanent flu

Salvation
What does it look like?
Temptation
The urge to move
In spite of
The need to get out
Of my way

This life
Just like one long
Twisting of a knife
In my tired lungs

Running in circles
The farther I go
The closer I get
Back to you

Oh, Weigh me down
Your weight still holds
And it's not the last time
Or the first

Oh, crush me now
Still so bold
Like an old friend
A misdirected curse

Oh, that night
Still as fresh as Honeydew
