She wore a black jacket and a winter sun beat down
or I guess it was early spring and we were in a park in Chinatown
if I were the jacket, her chest and limbs all wrapped around,
I would soak up all that light into my lining
 
I leaned in to feel the warmth pouring off her skin
yes I tried to breathe her essence like it was precious oxygen
and she took off her jacket the second we walked in
and I soaked up all the light from the fluorescents
 
What was I supposed to say to her?
in the grocery aisle, in the air-conditioning
What was I supposed to say to her?
I was coming up empty
coming up
 
I was on my phone for half an hour, bleached in the white light glare
sitting in the sports bar cuz the game was playing there
and the hometown team was down by ten but I really didn’t care
I just soaked up all the light from the flatscreens
 
Oh where can my little darling be?
most of the money I have spent, I spent it in her company
and I now I’m looking for some earnestness
and my mind won’t let me be
till I soak up all that light into my lining
 
What was I supposed to say to her?
in the grocery aisle, in the air-conditioning
What was I supposed to say to her?
I was coming up empty
coming up
