I Never Dreamed You'd Leave in Summer

High

Kept happy she’s infinite
Life-force symphonic conduit
But the window’s small and
dried-up paint threatens to seal it
So you’ll have to break your arm
Trying to open it
But there’s nothing else to do about it

You can waste your life
Outnumbered in the line
No way to savor cheating time
Misspent hours and written rhymes
Come plunder through a broken mind

But I like you high
You could be my find
Sit with me tonight
Wait it out at least

It’s always been this way I guess
Degrees vary certainly
And should you find it hard to take
Turn around before it breaks

Cuz I like you high
I’ll make you my life
Stay with me awhile
Wait it out at least

Cuz I like you high
You could be my find
Stay with me awhile
Wait it out at least

How

I never was one for too much
Excess flesh and real
It always seemed to make life easy
Keeping space between them and me

How it gets cold
How you’ll never know

I wouldn’t be the one to tell too much
About the worth of your light in mine
Because those things breathe open
You just know them, like my name

How it gets cold
How you don’t know
How I miss you so
