promising light

time and all you gave

i was a jerk who preferred the sea

to tussling in the waves

tugging your skirt singing please

please

please

now i see love

dragged on the floor where you walked outside

now i seek love

looking for you in this other girl's eyes

time and all you took

only my freedom to fuck the whole world

promising not to look

promising light on the sidewalk girls

now i see love

there in your car where i said those things

now i see love

tugging your skirt singing please

please

please

time and all you gave

there on your cross that i never saw

well beyond the waves

dunking my head when i heard you call

now i see love

there in the scab where you pinched my leg

now i see love

there on your side of my empty bed
