Quite Surprised

So I saw you there,
At the entrance there before.
And I bandaged up your sores then, didn’t I my dear.
You traced me up and down, two stark guys at your sides.
And you took it up from there; who would’ve thought?
You laughed at me. You loved me, I’d have to say I’m quite surprised.
And when my mind goes foggy you can lead me out the door.
I spent my days alone in the basement of that summer.
Storing books upon the shelves, waiting for no one at all.
Who would’ve thought, on that late July whim?
You’d saunter in, take a wandering kid like you.
I called the past the dark days,
And I left it up for chance.
So who would’ve thought, yeah.
Yeah, who would’ve thought?
You laughed at me. You loved me, I’d have to say I’m quite surprised.
And when my mind goes foggy you can lead me out the door.
So we traced the city for all it’s worth.
Hey 19 for 22.
Those deep waters were calling out to baptize you.
And I’m afraid, you were already there.
You met me there on Woodbine, with your foot against the wall.
Felt like you were a lighter sort,
As if you picked up some air at Club Zanzibar.
You kissed me on the corner, to relieve me of the strain.
Hell, you could’ve kept me waiting,
But there’s an awful lot there to gain.
You laughed at me. You loved me, I’d have to say I’m quite surprised.
And when my mind goes foggy you can lead me out the door.

One of a sort of type of alone
Outside of the frame of the picture they took
But you were right there with me
I can sneak away in the night
Without wading through the shite
But you were right there with me
Feeling through a foreign conversation
Blind by but a meager plate of words
And in the rough there was a diamond
And in the rain there were your steps
And in the stars we made a wish
But you were right there with me
Stars stars stars stars
There were no faults that I could lay
No circumstance to hesitate
Or delay
And you’re right there with me
In the rain there were your steps
And they jumped in the lake around us
And we made our way
Parting through the reeds in our old boat
Stars stars stars stars
To step on eggshells was no problem
And my breath can’t fuel your hate
And further you were right there with me
Stars stars stars stars
There was a hemming in their words now
No cults or people conflagrate
Stars stars stars stars
To fall asleep here was no problem
We don’t even need our fate
