I think I'm in love
Which is to say I feel a little out of character
To say sometimes I start to miss the way things were
Back at Bonnaroo
Man, I get so confused
She says, "aw, you love her"
And I say that gas will fill whatever space is left
I spent the last few years tryin to erase myself
But I've been getting there
"You've got my baby's hair"
And it's been a long night
Balancing equations
And miscommunications
I'm practicing my patience
And it's such a hard fight
But sometimes it's not your place to
Clean the mess you made, you
You just gotta believe that time and fate will heal the wound
Or the fire in your soul one day will burn you out
Yeah the light you bear will blind you if you don't learn how
To be careful with
Your natural gifts
And it's been a long night
Balancing equations
And miscommunications
I'm practicing my patience
And it's such a hard fight
But sometimes it's not your place to
To clean the mess you made, you
You just gotta believe that time and fate will heal the wound

I dip my toes in
Only to be met with
The immediate sense of
In-over-my-head-ness
Will I never get over
This unholy obsession?
Analyzing myself while
Paralyzed by perfection
I'm making excuses
I'm crying, I'm useless
When I call my employer
Let them know I can't do this

It's Friday night so I'm so wasted
Came so close I almost tasted
Every reason I survive the deathtrap of my bed
Regardless, put that plain gray t-shirt on and
Smiled across the threshold
I dissolved the fictional dividing line between the mind and body
February tenth,
My brother's aging at the same rate
I am
Proud to be related to a genius
In his niche way
Writing
Puzzles for her friends to solve
My sister's off to college now
I'm proud to be related to a genius
She's a force of nature
No shame in admitting
I am patient to a fault sometimes
I'd wait forever
Later bloomer
Ceiling fan dust
Mossy stone
I put that plain gray t-shirt on and
Backed out through the driveway
Slowly
Counting on my fingers
All the reasons I am glad to be alive

If we can share this at all
Why wouldn't we do this more often?
If we can let down our walls
Sink into a moment and soften
Couldn't it be so simple?
Tell me this isn't blissful
What do you think that it leads to?
My own illusion hits me too
But it can't be a sin
To melt into the water and soak into each other's skin
Or is it not bliss?
Then pardon my heart
For finding a light in the dark in this
Can I relieve the pressure?
Reading into the gesture
Give an inch, take a mile
That's the rub of it, isn't it?
Forgive my extraneous lust
If I hid my truth
Would I still remind you of lovers you couldn't trust?
