I come here
Because I want to
I come here
Because I wanted to
Spend time with you
Do you want to
Be my purser
Sail my ship
Cast a net over
My heart and pull
Me into your shadow
I can feel myself
Getting comfortable
Being close to you
Closer to you than
I thought that I could be
Again to someone who
After being with
Other folks who barely
Knew how to show up
Barely knew how to
Bring the best of themselves
Mostly just unfortunately
Incapable of loving me
In the way that I needed
Them to because
The love that they had
Was strictly for them
To hold on to alone and
As the hand of the clock
Tic-toc turns around
I can picture a fire on
The beach with you
An electric blanket
Unplugged because we
Don’t need any help
With the heat
If you know what I mean
We are the difference
Between pretending to know
What feels good
And owning up to the
Truth of our inevitable
Dream closing in
