heavy feet

powder in your hair

staples in your jeans

fireworks at the water

you were holding

a styrofoam cup

held between your teeth

you're telling me how you're going to outlive your body

what you said i wrote it down

it won't say

it won't speak the same

maybe i know better than

to read more than what's written

after everything

after everything

left in the sun

shivering

after everything

gathering your storm

i talk to fill the space

do you know where so and so was

when they were our age?

then every night you seem

to talk me out of everything

careful what you say next

don't waste a single drop

what you said i wrote it down

it won't say

it won't speak the same

after everything

after everything

left in the sun

shivering

after everything

what you said i wrote it down

it won't say

it won't speak the same

maybe i know better than

to read more than what's there

after everything

after everything

left in the sun

shivering

after everything
