After All This Time
You're So Weird
I wanna paint myself into your picture
navigate your narrative
lavishly consume you like fine liquor
negotiate to be the subject of
the thoughts that keep your body tingling
the dreams you dream when you can't sleep
I wanna be that song you can't stop singing
the fruit you never dared to eat
I need to know that aching hunger
long to lean into your kiss
to be the spell that you fall under
the reasons you fail to resist
the past that keeps you hanging on
the memory that hides behind your smile
the shooting star you wish upon
the past you visit for awhile
so come on back, boy
it's only time that's slipped away
listen to that voice, boy
and name the game you wanna play
the world keeps on spinnin'
before you know the moments passed
I see you grinnin'
what would you say boy, if I asked?
