shipwreck

I fell into the ocean waves
I became lost at sea
My thoughts they trail to yesterday
When my sails floated in meaning
I trace the lines upon your face
I define every curve
With every time I felt the taste
Of your lips, they still burn

And if I carried the highways with me
I’d throw the miles into the sea
Tearing open the scars I’ve borrowed from you
With any luck they’ll sink to the bottom
But knowing me they’ll end up on shore
I just wish things could be like before

For the record I’m a little nervous in
Defining a concept of a thought that’s incomplete
And for the moment I’m a little tired
And I’m just feeling incomplete
I’ve been staring into mirrors hoping for
A chance to make the change
And with the moment I’ll make the most of it
For a chance to rearrange

I’ve got an expensive taste
And you’re the drink that’s meant to quench
So without you I’m a wasted desert lie
Exposed to the exposure
Of the threat of something older
And reminding myself of what you’ve got to lose
