she flies back today, drives maybe?
just yesterday, she accidentally slipped into my dreamsape unexpected
and I haven't had the chance to say goodbye - she's had plenty,
but the 'hello' was pre-empted, so the parting passes empty
I don't have a bitter bone to whittle down to brittle
still, the organs underneath are somehow still bruised through the middle
it'll pass, and days will tolerate a fraction of my effort
then my boomerang subconsciousness would have us back together
so stupid! so music is a tool to reflect
they say the most beautiful stories come from pain and neglect
one runs, one stays stunned - takes love as it comes
one day maybe I'll be able to say 'thanks for the lumps'
until then, I have the confidence she knows I'll succeed
& there's still an ocean full of 'plenty other fish in the sea'
so how the hell'd she hook me? one look, and I know
maybe I'll see her out in Brooklyn when I'm doing a show...


it's never easy, I knew she'd never need me
but she caught me when I just happened to be hooked on believing
these days, I just gasp for a splash
reminisce past, and wish she didn't have to throw me back


and I don't know why I'm still like this after two years
I tell myself that it was real, and this is just how truth feels
something just sticks. and I guess I like it stuck
I hope she knows I truly wish her all the world in the luck
when it sucks, it just sucks. but it's all good quite a lot
I've got a broken open stutter vocal lock on the box
and where it's stored is as important as forging this career
we might've never had it right, but I liked the idea
and it was nice that I saw lightning in my life and only got charred
got a current I could count on, and some moments that were ours
plus unquestionable confidence - the next hook that I bite
will be devoured with such certainty, won't put up a fight
I had a nibble since that didn't mix, now focused on the music biz
figure, from this point on maybe wait until I'm rich
I want her to see me on tv like she said she saw me to keep me in deep sea
