Sometimes I wonder if I’m up there still hanging from your wall You know the one by the window Where we thought we’d see it all The kitchen always looks cleaner when the cupboards are all closed But with the doors now torn open We see how empty they all were We were more of an oil painting held steady on a wall That when you got closer It would lose its allure It threw me off for a while and I know it fucked with you But we were kids just playing selfish I cannot hold it against you
We were looking for a method not a doctrine to make us think we weren’t alone We became each other’s saviors When we needed it the most When I look back now it’s as if we never lost our way I think it makes this that much harder I never saw it coming We let what brought us together help slit each other’s throats But I think we both learned something About what we value most Maybe this was what we needed to help each other grow But the sunlight’s not as rich
