"Stars have never faded quite as fast," I said with certainty
as from this shallow July sky we find ourselves beneath
you said your spent your life squeezing time from your days like lemons off a tree,
or like blood of a knee, like blood of a knee
you're content to just watch it all unfold naturally from underneath this shallow July sky
we found ourselves beneath
and then the sky it turned the color of rusted metal,
and you were picking petals one by one from the dandelions by your feet, like
"we'll meet again, we'll never meet, we'll meet again"
and as that last petal floated to the ground you turned around
you left as quickly as you came as quickly as them stars they faded fast as ever
from this shallow July sky we found ourselves beneath
How could you fly so high, and leave us all alone
I keep your ribbon round my neck when I'm at home
and I could not gnaw this lonesome leash off if I tried
I could not gnaw this lonesome leash off if I tried
and I tried.
