lyrics
invited to your house
(not your home, just the place where you sleep. there's a difference)
i was scared to go alone since it had been so long since i had seen you
i didn't know what would happen, so i walked slow the whole way
sometimes, it's no good (this is a lyric stolen from the song "perfect shot" by lync... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xe_2NMeu5M )
-
when you said "it's ok!"
i assumed you were joking.
i'm not sure why i thought i knew since i couldn't even look at you and judge the situation in that way.
"i'm not ok with this!" i cried out, both of my fists clenched into themselves
and then, floating up in the air, i was able to feel everything at once. but i was still close enough to hear you exhale
we returned to form and warmed out hands and stayed up late and saw each other
but, there's no end, because bad feelings stick around sometimes
though, often when i'm alone with you, i can almost forget.
-
later on, you had to leave (you had a weird shift at work, really late. I walked you over, and I knew you'd be there all night.)
you asked me to stay awake to come get you once it was over, and of course, I agreed to.
I went back to your room, sat in your bed and watched the first episode of twin peaks.
i fell asleep too early.
i had a dream, and at the end, i died, but i just woke right up and didn't say anything. because
it's good to be scared
it's good to be afraid
and above all,
it's good to be aware of all the choices you've made. every single one
we returned to form.
