7. All That Remains

It was after one,

And you were after something

Besides polite conversation

But we'd just had a fight

Cause I was trying too hard to hide

All of my affection

 

But I thought I should tell you I appreciate

The way you held my hand

And I thought I should tell you I appreciate

That it didn't seem to matter that I couldn't walk straight

 

We sat years away

While we looked years ahead

Trying to figure out each other's plan

Of attack

But after all once our bodies fall entwined it all seems insane

It's only moon beams

And sweet dreams

That remain. 

 

It was getting late

When you rang my doorbell

And said that you'd lost direction

But I was still a mite  

Infuriated with you

For not paying attention

 

But I thought I should tell you I appreciate

The way you groveled at my feet

And I thought I should tell you I appreciate

That you played the song we wrote at that bar we used to meet

 

We sat years away  

While we looked years ahead

Trying to figure out if what we had was  

Living or dead

But with the day washes away all imperfections

It's only moonbeams

And sweet dreams

That remain. 

 

Oh there'll be fights

There'll be wars

We'll keep tabs and lists and scores

But at every harsh words core

We'll understand each other a little bit more

 

It was barely noon  

When you woke me up with sweet

Egg and bacon perfume

I couldn't for my life

Remember what it was that had made me

So mad at you.
