so out of place
so absolutely in the only place i could be
listening to josiah
listening to flicking lighters
my quiet humming and your fingertaps
the fading winter wind no longer bellowing
the sounds of us both living in your car
so out of place
so absolutely in the only place that i could be
in your basement on the couch
feeling each other dully through thick comforters
feeling the sun and the hours and windows
slipping away
lusting to escape the growing springtime light
into the dark
so out of place
so out of sync with the way that we were
when you ask me kindly to go
so you can get some sleep
and i never worked up the courage
to try and touch you
so childish so childish
i drive home waiting for a message from you
swaying like distant heat in the summer
