you were everything once
I was barely enough
we nearly forgot to survive
but we needed one another
busy fishing at stars
pulling faces at Marx
and keeping each other alive
in a knot that wouldn't pull apart
in our great days
we had everything to say
and we'll have great days again don't forget what I meant
don't forget what you felt
pinned to the rock by your eyes
playing sailor-versus-siren
you were everything once
I was making it up
I waited but nothing arrived
weighing up your gain against my loss
one last chance at one last chance?
