Our words collide and tangle midair
Swallow them down like cough syrup
Breathe in your sweetness once again,
Curl up so close to each other,
Somehow never close enough
And nothing will ever soothe it,
The soft humming of my chest
But you make my mind so quiet
I can almost begin to think
Tongue fizzling as I give you my soul
I’ll watch your face as it happens
Watch those soft eyes go dull
Mind slipping further and further
‘Til there’s a million miles between us
So I’ll reach out, try to grab you
Pull your head above the water
I’ll never understand, that place you go
But it’s far away from where I am
And I’ll reel you back in every universe
