Here For Now, For You

(album: The Pet Parade - 2021)

I
I sometimes
I feel like I wanna
Get off the ride

Like you know
You know
That I'm getting called
Home

Gap-toothed
And green-eyed
Black Irish
A lovely

All you gotta do
Is touch is my arm
And I'm bruised by a feather
Lightning going up and down my spine

And I never could conceive
How I could ever ever leave
You

You're my lamp
You're my raft
You're my lifeline

This world
You know it's hard
'Cause everybody's gonna leave you
Eventually

But you know
That I'm here for now
For you

Whether I'm a man
Or a whisper in the mist
I will always
Love you

And no, I never could conceive
How I could ever ever leave
You

You're my lamp
You're my raft
You're my lifeline

You're my lungs
You're my heart
You're my flashlight
