| Hot like the afternoons
|
| When you kiss her on the mouth
|
| Locked on the common ground
|
| You won’t say you love me now
|
| Cooled by the waterside
|
| I’ll just wait till you find out
|
| Pressed up against my door
|
| You’ll just say «he's different now.»
|
| He dissolved like the blood
|
| That you had called for on my afternoons
|
| You were right all that time
|
| To feel like nothing you said made a difference
|
| Hot like the summer night
|
| When your brother went to state
|
| Framed in the parking lot
|
| You left all the things you hate
|
| Laid down across my lap
|
| You said «do I still calm you down?»
|
| Promised a later day
|
| That just spilled out of my mouth
|
| He dissolved like the blood
|
| That you had called for on my afternoons
|
| You were right all that time
|
| To feel like nothing you said made a difference
|
| And I lost my phone in that summer water
|
| The night your brother left town
|
| And I could feel your hands move through that river
|
| Across my chest for the last time |
