a song

you say you say that maybe today
we can right all the wrong
all that we have to do is swallow the sea

you say you say that its in our reach
how can i not hear the song
all that i have to do is splinter in breezes

in breezes
you say

and i---i know
its hard for you
to hear the words
like kites

and i---i know
it sucks a stale
taste to have these
fights

but you--you have
to trust that when
i speak i know
whats right

you say you say that we can today
we can forget what we said
all that we have to do is step off this cliff

you say you say that it won't be hard
when we're in each other's arms
but bones fall harder than stones fall faster than this


and i---i know
its hard for you
to see me dry
like leaves

and i---i know
the subway seat
feels deeper
than it seems

but i---i have
to trust myself
to know that
what i speak

is right.
