Don’t hesitate and wait for signposts to raise the stakes Your hands around my slow escape Time implodes then starts again, and forms in shapes
Pale as water and paper thin These subtle meanings won’t make the grade I bought a rainbow to guard your sky In my defence, I don’t know why
Sounds we didn’t share Five years gone and you still act like you don’t care
Eyes roll into the sun Bright lights will harm no one Speak now my hummingbird Laughter won’t count as words
We’ll pass the parcel Till the music stops But we won’t dance till we’ve forgot We can’t be single and we can’t be whole And the bitter truth is we can’t be both
