Lines
Said The Whale
Well, we got lost,
And every street that we crossed.
We spoke aloud to each other.
I spit against the wind.
Down the cemetery lane.
We got some dirt in our nails.
And we clicked our heels to the west.
I've got the most important line
No, I've got the most important line for you
For you
With every stretch of the land,
We felt the miles fall behind us;
The horizon was brighter.
We made some lottery turns,
Some gambling swerves,
For the ex who was played.
Oh, and the choices we made:
Important dates and lovers' birthdays.
Seems frightful,
But it's hardly the case.
I got my mother's advice
And my father's attention to every single detail.
And if what you said should fail,
Well,
We get over it.
And I know
It breaks your heart to see me letting go.
