And then I was standing there broken and weary. And bright darkness surrounded me as I recognized it was just me and you. Us and them. And I just blinked my eye and knew you were there smiling your sweetest smile for me. And I live through this as I grow older, grow colder. Cold as a razorblade and hot like a melting sun. Like a firing gun. I still don’t have a dad and I’m still not running away. Oh, I can stand your tainted faces. I need you, babe. Don’t leave me now. You know how I need you. My shoulder is yours and your arms around me, hold on. I can stand these prank calls coming in from dark old memories, sitting naked on the phone. Let me help you carry the stars. Let us watch those bubbles in the sky. Let’s don’t do what they tell us.
