you won't smoke cigarettes
you don't talk when I'm talking to you
you look like you're lost and don't know what to do
you don't like when I say it's alright
what I say and what you know is true
are two completely different things
when the flood comes down and washes away all our bones
when the sun comes up and the water flows back to the ocean
the clouds are in slow motion
the weather used to be so clear around you
it gets late
my love why did you break?
the cat is on the windowsill and calling you back home across the night
your poison breaks away your poise
and your thoughts of me are gone
along with all the memories I've built with you
when the rain comes down and clears the salt off all the sidewalks
when the spring has sprung and the water melts out of the snowbanks
we fall through the frozen lake
the winter never was this cold around you
the weather used to be so clear around you
I hope the rainclouds disappear around you
