lyrics

the day we hitchhiked south to north
i slept between the two of you
relieving as the moon and exciting as the sunrise

you took me by the hand
because you were afraid to die
in that speeding car that brought us back to your home

i felt at home in her house
warm as a chimney fire
there two angels bandaged my broken universe

then on a rainy day
i wrote with her a love letter
how we couldn't wait to deliver it to you

you looked up to us
the letter in your hand
you knew it was for real, i saw it in your diamond eyes


my lighthouse, it burns
nearby your lantern
please understand when i choose to look away

it's only that i feel
only half-complete
and not thawed enough to be that close to a fire

away from you my friends
making myself better
never want to hurt you, never want to disappoint you
