lyrics

I’m sending out a flash of light in the dark -
(did you? Did I? We were glowing orbs of light, we were apricots)

And could it be frostbite making feeling hard?
(you were you, it’s no fault of anyone’s)

/

Her lips pushed too hard against the wall
(comparisons, comparisons, comparisons, comparisons)

Remembering dusk before midnight, eleven days after all
(she said I thought we had longer, I thought we had longer)

/

The photo is aging: splotches of sudden red, gentle green
crawl and close vast distances. Time has stolen
the color of your eyes on a summer morning.

/

Go where you will go -
it doesn’t matter when the season ends -
it was a northern dream.

Memory could be a liar now -
We couldn’t have said ourselves
(when we were ourselves)

/

The photo is aging: splotches of sudden red, gentle green
crawl and close vast distances. Time has stolen
the color of your eyes on a summer morning.

/

Remembering dusk before midnight, eleven days after all
(she said I thought we had longer, I thought we had longer, I thought we had longer)
