stars shoot
some fade away
i’ve been thinking about
the very things
that got me thinking of when
i thought of them
in the first place
as the days go by
and i think more of you
and the shit that can go wrong
cars go by
a beacon scanning through the living room
as i fall asleep
on your chest
the phone company
they’ve set up x-mas lights
down the main street
the blue ones always
seemed so peaceful to me
and it snowed last week
first of December
and the first time that we could see
the dust on the evergreens
around our town
our town, our town
dead star
crash into the sea
i’ve been thinking about
that very thing
that got me re-thinking everything
i needed to be
as work gets hard
and i think more and more
about the use
all that shit that’s so much,
as long as its with you, though, it’s fine
your head to mine,
on the floor,
sculptures solidified in the bathroom
as we watch eye to eye
the bath bomb fall apart
into our ocean
the phone company
they’ve set up x-mas lights
down the main street
the blue ones always
seemed so peaceful to me
and it snowed last week
first of December
and the first time that we could see
the dust on the evergreens
around our town
our town, our town
