Meet me on the pier when the sunset fades
Where the sea sings its evening serenade
This summer night is warm like a smoking gun
Treacherous space between twin Scorpio suns
You paint my pink sky an apocalyptic blue
I’m a freedom fighter, but I’d drop my sword for you
I count the commas in every text
Searching for clues of what comes next
I call you friend, don’t call my bluff
A thousand Sundays wouldn’t be enough
In your getaway car, we waste the weekends
Grin like a fool, pull me into the deep end
We dance in the ruins of our childhood dreams
And for one fleeting moment, I’m finally sixteen
Driving fast in the adrenaline rush
Heavenly bodies that never touch
Make me laugh before I think too much
Lying in the daylilies, you tell me your plans
In your destiny, I find my name unmentioned
But in fragile twilight, I reach for your hand
and love this present without future intentions
The night will steal you before I wake
leaving gold-rimmed memories and peculiar aches
I’ll shoulder my baggage, I’ll continue my climb
through dusty hills I walked before I called you mine
But I lived ten lifetimes in ten months with you
and ten lifetimes couldn’t kill the hope we grew
We were born to die in a single moon
But man, weren’t we beautiful that afternoon?
