I should have gone with the soul
I should have taken better notes
Should have skipped the sights
should have seen the signs
but I didn't
I should have spent the day in bed
Giving solace to my ego-bruised head
watching still rolled up, books on the shelf unread
new packs of strings already broken in my head
and now I'm told it's time
and now folds the boring sky
we do otherwise but I know what that's like
or do i?
still
I remember walking through the park with you
I remember staring at art with you
I remember kissing you on your steps
I remember you as you recede to five years away
plain as day
Looks like we'll be here all night
shaking fits and hands, to try to feel inspired
i can see you fine but you wave your hands at my eyes
the inevitable is clearly gonna take a while
i should have turned the page
fit the passion to the age
watching still landscapes scraping the past away
defiance cost me half a decade
still
I remember stalking through the park with you
and I remember swearing at art with you
i remember kissing you till i was blue in the face
i remember you as you recede to five years away
plain as day
