What ghosts exist behind thses attic walls?
There's got to be a simpler explanation,
'cause i scrimped and i saved just to find that they've been splicing my inventions.
Cold skin and bones and this latitude... we ain't payin' until the heat comes through.
So you slept in a stocking cap and wool scarf.
Promises of payment were upon your shoulders constantly,
But don't forget to entertain 'cause this is your first defense.
A four-year offense to the devoted type.
I may have got an invitation but i wasn't invited.
But i thought that this meant something more than broken hearts and new addictions.
We'll leave our sins within the carpet twine.
Our bodies will dissolve the chemicals in due time.
My thoughts floated away with the wind today. They frantically swirled about in the snow and I watch as all of my reservations disolved as the snow flakes hit the pavement.
Letting go. Letting go.
I remember lying on the ground, looking up and searching for satelites. We hiked barefoot in the black of night to find the perfect vantage point. And then, laughter erupting all around us, we clasped hands.
The possibility of love lingered in the summer air.
And sitting in the passenger seat, the warm breeze easing in and out my hair, I couldn't help but smile.
