Well I shake
my head
at how
perfect some song is sounding in my car,
driving toward the country for the month.
I am
still on the make,
and this place is full of friends that I've known,
they saw me too and laughed a warm laugh again.
Lay on
the warm gra** of my lawn
and shake hands,
"I've met you once before".
Call to the neighbors down below,
tell them "Wake up! Ma and Pa are gone!"
Don't waste
a breath.
How could
you've spent your life on something so cold?
it's flickered out you're lost and you're scared now.
And I need
this life,
these friends,
my home.
I'm on the curb smiling
remember this 'cause things are never that bad.
You feel right.
I was probably scared.
While I was gone,
you were sleeping upstairs.
When I first heard
you barely made a sound.
And I fell first
isn't it perfect how?
it all comes down
to a moment like this
when I'm leaving for
something bigger than us.
Remember that.
Remember that?
I called my mom and she said
she's never been so impressed.
