When I was a kid

So obsessed with love

A word with permeance

You fall and don't get up

God was in the sky

The dog lay in her grass

But I can't fall asleep

I hold night in my hands

I watch you walk away

To change behind the door

Some new modesty

That wasn't there before

I can hold you close

But we can't be the same

I wanna stay right here

And not feel so ashamed

When the bombs are off

Will I be with you?

What time will the clock say?

Will the sky be black and blue?

My heart is not a rock

And it can't be still

And you are not a picture

You are just yourself
