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 at midnight, eleven days after all
(she said I thought we had longer, I thought we had longer)

The photo is aging: droplets 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 -
Doesn't matter what we 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 at midnight, eleven days after all
(she said I thought we had longer, I thought we had longer)
