Close 2 Me

Red River

You opened a beer
With your paperback copy of Franny & Zooey
I said I don’t care
To wear bikinis, you didn’t believe me

But at least back then
It wasn’t a crime
For you to turn and
Press your lips to mine

Why can’t it be
Like that day on Horseneck Beach?
I walked in front of you backwards

Why can’t it be
Like that day on Horseneck Beach?
You kissed me back without a word

You opened your car
There was room for me in there, but mostly for your art
Overlooking the harbor
We stood on the bridge and you faked pushing me off

But at least back then
It wasn’t a crime
For me to hold you
When we said goodbye

Why can’t it be
Like that day on Horseneck Beach?
I walked in front of you backwards

Why can’t it be
Like that day on Horseneck Beach?
You kissed me back without a word

Can you not punish me?
