Scrambled

I remember you kissed me inside and out Against he confines of a foreign couch Drag your finger along my jaw line here I love you so much. I feel like i'm going to get sick I look around and see through a haze of lights The windows of your car are fogged and lusty Your lips are so soft and sweet and harsh Lacrosse and football that’s all you talked I ache! I ache! Lets loose ourselves We snuck traces of each others skin While spinning stories about the 49’ers A campfire around me, I smell smoke. Baby you wont, burn, oh baby. You worked at a prison Dirty little waterfowl, hear that gun pop Watch the sky turn red Lingering in the store front openings, smiling in boots A dimple to close to your illegal mouth I’m so Cold, I’m so cold Little tokens, food and gifts Your skin, your eyes like sweat and dirt Near you I smell blood and exhaust I never wanted to tell you I loved you for someone else Pitter-patter scrapping huff Touch my lips and tell no one Hear that pretty baby purr My best friend liked you so it never happened I think you had grayish hazel eyes I thank you for punching the love of my life in the face Goodnight beautiful, goodnight, goodnight Watch the sky bloom and burn with lights Acrid fuming burning smoke In a bed, in an RV, please don’t make me go in the water Don’t yell at me! Don’t you sit there and yell at me! Goodnight Handsome, goodnight, goodnight I like the way you turn red Like a sun kissed glory, like a broken bleeding mouth candy Keep running, keep running, tell we outrun temporary. Lets fool around in this Christian school Lets be honest I don’t love you I never will You’re a smart boy, wheat colored hair Glide across that water, I smell smoke and I am burning You brush my lips and ask what’s wrong. I cry I cry I don’t love you Hollow, hollow empty soul I call you crying my love eternal The phone rings, it rings twice You pick up and you’re all alone “ I can’t talk because I love you.” All alone, broken scrambled. Call me back… Heaven doesnt let you call collect
