in crowded bars
at subway cars
whenever you are next to me
center of gravity
can't feel both feet on the ground
walking home after dark
past the softball park
it's clear to me
according to a rule i learned one day in school
basic geometry: two halves of a circle
you and me
it's a familial song we've known so long
your clever cuts into me
as long as you're next to me
i can't feel both feet on the ground
