The way a girl like that smiles
When the world is hers
And she held your eyes
Out in the breezeway
Down by the shore
In the lazy summer
And she pulled you
And she bit your lip
And she made you hers
And she looked deep into as you lay together
Quiet in the grasp of dusk and summer
But you've already lost, when you only had barely enough to hang on.
And she combed your hair
And she kissed your teeth
And she made you better than you'd been before
And she told you bad things you wished you could change in the lazy summer.
And she told you laughin down to her core so she would not cry as she laid in your lap
And she said nobody here can live forever quiet in the grasp of dusk and summer
But you've already lost when you only had barely enough to hang on
And she said "NO ONE IS ALONE THE WAY YOU ARE ALONE" and you held her looser than you would have if you ever could have known.
SOME THINGS TIE YOUR LIFE TOGETHER, SLENDER THREADS AND THINGS TO TREASURE, DAYS LIKE THAT SHOULD LAST AND LAST AND LAST.
But you've already lost when you only had barely enough of her to hang on.
