Still some nights I find

The ideas that bring me rest

Are the ones that used to prod and pester and keep me up

A call from high school two drinks in

C
I smiled but you could not see

      Em           Eb              D                   C
Your tin can cell receiver hummed its New York static song

          C
The lever pulled and all at once

                Am
The floor was false
The center seam divided
Em                      Eb
Lace and well-pressed cotton

           D                 C
Found the flood we’d since forgotten
We still leave our shoes at the door
                              Am
Before we wring out our wet clothes

             G          C
Across your floor and future

Em                     Eb      C
Stitch the gaps that destiny assumed

G            C
With floral sutures

         Em            Eb           C
Are you hiding or have I abandoned you?

G          
Let me learn here

Bm        C         G     Bm     C
I am in pursuit of all I can undo
End on G
