clay
Can I be a source of comfort though I don’t know how?
Weave me into a net above the abyss
Of things that we’ve forgotten we didn’t tell
Things that we know and things that we miss
And I’ve got seven deadlines I’ve set for myself
But right now I would rather finish this song
July’s still a couple days away
And I’m telling myself this shouldn’t take too long
I want to give you a hug and say that I’ve missed you
Instead, I ponder and yearn and just reminisce you
Like you’re an outline of something I can see fading away
Drew it in chalk on the sidewalk or made it out of clay
I want to hold your hand for hours on end
As we walk through the park, looking for somewhere to spend
A day safe from the rain or the autumn chill
Knowing if that doesn’t get us, the cold drinks in our hands will
At this point I think I’ve forgotten what
It feels like to lean my head on your shoulder
Can we wear matching costumes next Halloween?
We can start collecting ideas in a Google Drive folder
And I’ve got seven deadlines I’ve set for myself
But right now I would rather finish this song
July’s still a couple days away
And I’m telling myself this shouldn’t take too long
I want to give you a hug and say that I’ve missed you
Instead, I ponder and yearn and just reminisce you
Like you’re an outline of something I can see fading away
Drew it in chalk on the sidewalk or made it out of clay
I want to hold your hand for hours on end
As we walk through the park, looking for somewhere to spend
A day safe from the rain or the autumn chill
Knowing if that doesn’t get us, the cold drinks in our hands will
And you know that first verse ‘cause I used it in a guessing game of our poetry and no one guessed it wrong
You knew it was mine because it rhymed and the closest things I have to poems are just songs
And you know that first verse ‘cause I used it in a guessing game of our poetry and no one guessed it wrong
You knew it was mine because it rhymed and the closest things I have to poems are just songs
I want to give you a hug and say that I’ve missed you
Instead, I ponder and yearn and just reminisce you
Like you’re an outline of something I can see fading away
Drew it in chalk on the sidewalk or made it out of clay
I want to hold your hand for hours on end
As we walk through the park, looking for somewhere to spend
A day safe from the rain or the autumn chill
Knowing if that doesn’t get us, the cold drinks in our hands will
I stopped writing this song then I heard fighting
And I don’t think I can get into the mood anymore
For yearning and pining but I found this in my notes
I’ll go back to feeling this way someday for sure
‘Cause I want to give you a hug and say that I’ve missed you
Instead, I ponder and yearn and just reminisce you
Like you’re an outline of something I can see fading away
Drew it in chalk on the sidewalk or made it out of clay
