THE KEY OVER THE DOOR

Mercy me Vesuvius,
one two by four at a time,
she has built a bridge between you
two can cross it as you like.
Stars lay on the ocean,
he only visits you at night,
but he knows the spell of happiness,
he can read your open mind
of panoramic sadness,
and he says it's not your fate,
and he can cure it with a kiss,
he will prepare it while you wait.
Clothes hold tight to bodies,
like a soul clinging to life.
The road that necks ahead of you
will soon unwind behind.
You leave a key over your door,
he locks up when he leaves,
the space inbetween who we are
and who we want to be.

Those who came before me.
Those who came before me.
Those who came before me.
Those who came before.

I want you.
I want you. I want you.
I want you.

You and I were watching as the dawn
came burning our initials in the lawn
of those who came before me,
hands will see a robin's egg,
but you don't need to be afraid,
cause I will never leave you.
I will never leave you that way.
I will never leave you that way.
