This goes back To a time Not too long ago But feels like Well I guess It was a very long time Or at least a time That is definitely In the past But does not really feel Like it's in the past Because it is there every day and at night It is not in the past at all But alive In this dream. I'd fall in To a Time when I Could have Called you up Just to Hear you anytime And I would Never Have hung up And not Have gone shy At that Time when I Couldn't quite tell wrong from what is right Could you ever think of me being around after what's happened now After the romance of the Century It was tributary to the set and scene to the memory

In the immanence of time Walking out beyond the lights In the darkness Cars all parked up In the immanence of time Walking out beyond the lights of something Couldn't quite make out your eyes But I could not forget them if I wanted Does it ever lose its weight No it only grows and becomes godly Does it ever leave the stage No but It won't always be a problem We will share it Blood and breakfast someone else's Parents' mattress Goodbye first Love Say goodbye

To think it could have been historically important and agleam Spite of the tired and unquiet on the day you watched me leave Could I not try to hear it out Opened before us like roads in a tunnel Not even that could save us now You spoke with Sureness like we were in trouble I just grew right up You couldn't stress enough I've been all that you've loved there are things I'm not proud of Could I not try to hear it out Opened before us like roads in a tunnel Not even that could save us now You spoke with sureness i really was humbled So I came back inside Let it to die At the end of the night

You washed your hands of it Should I have gone back and pled Threatened to die for it Or was it already dead Already dead Gone back and pled Pleaded myself Back into bed We had no argument There was no trouble ahead Love is encirclement You could not help seeing red All that you've said Left And forgave Consider these doubts Already dead I was afraid
5.
I showed up Late on a Friday I could not say if there were things That you Remembered about me The whole crusade Watched it rewinding If you aren't writing about love You have Not Watched it dying To leave it there so readily To leave it up to fate just like a child In it all I am still in love Like I was that winter a decade after but I don't think that I can Do this anymore There is just so much in me That I don't want to focus on directly for too long There is too much Of Great importance In the antecedent Of the wide open Nothing that's to come Please do not leave me here

the deal that we made the end of the summer when we packed the car away from your mother's the house that was sold i'm endlessly haunted its still in the frame all your belongings into the car and drove from your mothers i couldn't have known the endless discomfort of longing too late for longer than average you're still in the frame front of the narrative now i go to work and sleep in the covers and i'm not alone though not quite recovered from all of the nights the hue of your bedroom so bold and precise the sound in the headphones when back at thirteen sat on the computer i couldn't have known the course of a future spent longing too late for longer than average you're still in the frame front of the narrative I'll be listening to that song When I die An MP3 in the passenger seat Of a long drive Thinking of you The slow duet And your attic bed when Jackson died In June 09 Each note And tone Of Your admission That Falling in love Isn't a choice But being in love its a decision Or the grieving drone Appealing the reason That I'd die for you But I wouldn't leave him i couldn't know that there were things concrete beyond seventeen mostly you're my only purpose the night fades too nothing

We cannot outrun the length of the chain more than a day but if you're trying well then you're trying can't blame you for that and the plea and the pain still falling into focus even today but if you're trying well then you're trying can't blame you for that though it wouldn't matter but it might but it might we couldn't know
8.
But In the end When there wasn't an end At all And in the hot June nights And Walking home from work In December I'll remember you Like it's my job to. And My mind Image files Angles of you over me and Blocking the light The exact hex code hue Of your eyes Turning On your side Just to look at me In the dark each time I'm with or without you The Inescapable low res reel of the Loop Playing out The years in which Id die for you And I still would do Even when The great inelegant pass of time Takes upon me Unfavourably Further from the day We met At the party Or later When you couldn't have seen me Coming around the corner Calling you In Fleeting All the times we met Or were meeting things that are And aren't Worth keeping each year a layer Through which it's burning In the grand scheme Of eternity To which me And my love Keep returning
