Broken Necks

When I had a million arms I would wrap them around all your body parts

Try to keep away all that could do you harm

Try to keep out sickness and keep you warm

But every time the going got tough one by one they were falling off

While you were breaking your neck trying to keep your head up

I was breaking my neck just to stick it out for you

And I know we'd hang out everyday if I wasn't 100 miles away

From our tadpoles gathering in the creek

And our baby birds learning how to shriek

All the eagles I still haven't seen and the trees proudly alive and green

I could swear they are there just for you and me

Whether friends or in love there's an indisputable beauty

While you were breaking your neck trying to keep your head up

I was breaking my neck just to stick it out for you

If the distance between us grows too strong

I would saturate silence with your songs

Cause you'd rub my back 'til the skin smoothed out

Smoother than the glass that the sea spits out

And don't forget to take your shirt off, run into the water

The birds are singing louder and the days are getting longer

Open up your hands and accept that this has ended

"Nothing in this world is holier than friendship"
