Do You Remember the First Kiss?
part i: blueprint

you’re so long gone from the city
I start to miss you, baby, sometimes.

your beautiful pen,
take the cap off.
give me a sign, and I come running.

it doesn’t matter where you are—

I’m in a state, I’m in a state
nothing can touch us my love

I draw a line to your heart today,
to your heart from mine,
a line to keep us safe.

halfways/inbetweens

there’s a lot of leaves my true love gave to me.
all I’ve done
I’ve done for me
all you gave
you gave for free.

your love thawed out
what was scared and cold

you’re asking me, will my love grow?

part ii: home

we live on a mountain
right at the top,

I tell you in the kitchen about my day.
you sit on the bed in the dark--

the wandering eye
that I have caught
is as hot as the wandering sun:

you are a yellow surprise.

there’s a lot of life in you
I can see a lot of bright in you
and in the golden blue
crying took me to the darkest place
and you have set fire to
my heart.

you and I have memories
longer than the road that stretches out ahead,

so count it on your fingers
if we got it wrong
it’s because the days have no numbers.
