Better

I’m still in the pool
You left me in
And I thought it’d be cool
To be
Melted down
To be water on the ground
You could walk on or swim through
Here I am at the top again
Dreaming that you let me in
Talk me down, talk me down
Talk me down
We leave our marks on things
That will never be ours
The streets are scarred
The trees are carved
With names that glow like
Diamond rings on one knee
In a nice restaurant
I’m better now
Those dreams are gone
Cause I thought it’d be you
And me
Hovering ‘round everything
I knew
We’d be, if autumn flowers could
Just hold out ‘til spring
And shake off the snowfall
Here I am at the top again
Desperate for oxygen
Talk me down, talk me down
Here I am at a loss again
Starving for oxytocin
Talk me down, talk me down
We leave our marks on things
That will never be ours
The streets are scarred
The trees are carved
With names that glow like
Diamond rings on one knee
In a nice restaurant
I’m better now
Those dreams are gone
Fading faster
In the picture you took of us
Just the two of us
There’s no future in
This phantom limb
I’ve sown to us
And there’s a little spot where I
Let you in
Now it’s a vacant lot
Where your name never washes off
Cause I thought it’d be you
And me
Circling infinity
We leave our marks on things
That will never be ours
The streets are scarred
The trees are carved
With names that glow like
Diamond rings on one knee
In a nice restaurant
I’m better now
Those dreams are gone
