Waltz 05:48
When I met you I'd learned to waltz But you and I still swayed Out of time When I danced With your hands in mine I didn't know how I'd melt Or how I'd lost my mind To you I'll be like no one else To you I could be put back upon a shelf My memory lies sometimes When I don't try I lose in sight I waited so long To look like an excitable mess And how you'd Be lovely anyway And as soon as I did I'd never known a greater victory Than making you laugh With stupid things I'd say To you I might be like no else To you I think we'd go well Let's box step See how far it gets Give it time Like I did mine

-30- 03:47
Return your devices If you're starting to not like this Let the wrong side go I'll bet last night shows There's no need to be concerned Given what did not occur So, I cave, chewing parts of my mouth Up until I'm told what this is about Twisting my fingers for extra luck Curling into an unwinding amuck I'll unravel and collapse When a heart fades from my grasp Home alone, I'll shake up a riot The only bones, and they're rattling in the quiet And it came to a shock When I'd not noticed an unlock I'd always rearrange To match your undying age Anything that may Help me keep your love another day

What lies below blue bodies Lurking, sand on sole echoes softly Men muted, quickly talking Breathing underwater, walking FIll up your lungs While you are young Caverns will eat you in slow motion So follow the bottom of the ocean There is plenty that will swallow you whole

You should know your memory shines Like the boots I wore to work today I ought to mention that I still sing songs I wrote to you Even if the words aren't exactly the same Our conversations are foggy and all Kept like postcards in a shoebox as I recall Every once in a while I'll read them to myself To remind me that I am now who I was and no one else And this is one of those things That is no good to remember And perhaps I'm desperate To think that you might give me another second But otherwise I'd be flattered Though I suppose it doesn't matter
