But We'll Stay

Have you ever had a moment that if it came down to pen and paper would be almost like trying to measure how many inches wide the universe is or something? Shannon and I saw 'Garden State' tonight and talked into the monring outside alone. That's the english. I feel like I should never put anything else in here because I'm cheating and nothing I've said before comes close to the feelings of that time shortly ago. I don't know what else to say at all. I played this on repeat when I got back as I wrote in my notebook how almost depressed I am that I'm even "bothering" her with myself. But for that time I don't think I've ever felt more safe.

I was thinking it's a sign that the freckles
in our eyes are mirror images and when
we kiss they're perfectly aligned
and I have to speculate that god himself
did make us into corresponding shapes like
puzzle pieces from the clay
and true, it may seem like a stretch, but
its thoughts like this that catch my troubled
head when you're away when I am missing
you to death
when you are out there on the road for
several weeks of shows and when you scan
the radio, I hope this song will guide you
home

they will see us waving from such great
heights, "come down now," they'll say
but everything looks perfect from far away,
"come down now," but we'll stay...

I tried my best to leave this all on your
machine but the persistant beat it sounded
thin upon listening
and that frankly will not fly. you will hear
the shrillest highs and lowest lows with
the windows down when this is guiding
you home

they will see us waving from such great
heights, "come down now," they'll say
but everything looks perfect from far away,
"come down now," but we'll stay...
