is this a love song?
if this time things change, i won't be surprised
the sweet smell of your hair is a feeling disguised
what do i tell him? you told me you care
and as of right now, i'd go anywhere
to escape this paradox of a love triangle
you've all but confused me, but i still think i'm able
walking away now, i head to your house
if i never get there, well, at least i got out
untied, my laces flop on the asphalt
they turn a darker shade and rub against road salt
as they wear ragged, seconds move glacially
rubber smacks tar as my heart gets ahead of me
i step onto the grass, avoiding the traffic
the air is heavy, my lungs feel thick
i suppose i'd be more careful if i cared about consequence
but for now i have but one present tense
my feelings infinitive, i start to the door
i'm not leaving you, not now, not anymore
with the knocker in my right hand, i pause to think
i always thought you'd stop it, but you've had too much to drink
so this is how a friendship ends: in your warm, naked smile
i don't know if it was worth it, but i've never tasted anything more incredible
than your neck, as caresses exchange themselves, where did we go?
no more thought, just ourselves and that shadow
there's no turning back, gravity won't release
us from the choke it placed on my sleeve
and the pillow falls away from your head
tormented by a sudden flash and then twisted
it builds to a steeple, and spikes like a splintered board
shivering, lying there, no further way forward
i can't think anymore of what to say
but it can't stay quiet, and so much for today
i'm home at last, because when my eye meets yours
i see what i never knew i was looking for
