Screaming In The Trees

We met on mutual ground

but you avoided my gaze

until I lost your face

in the next morning's haze.

You're shoes could've woken up the whole street.

They drowned out the birds screaming in the trees.

We sat down on the stone stairs

and I watched the scars on your knees.

We met on mutual ground.

You fell out of your dress.

This bar's not open late enough,

so let's go home and make a mess.

They smiled and left the room

to leave us with more space

but we stayed where we were

and just had a drink to the chase.

A good night kiss equals a quick reaction

but it's hard to believe I'm fully grown.

So as usual, we parted on vague terms,

so you could climb back on your thrown.
