Slow Vines

My job to put you to sleep
Slip into your breathing on the cusp of a dream
All lives are mysteries
And when we close our eyes we write them

Baby baby baby why don't you come back to me
I'll punch the numbers once and, feeling blunt, I'll give up
Consider all the foolishness in fooling around
Consider how our kisses made a quiet sound and delayed you

Slow vines keep on climbing,
Sticking to the brick and licking concrete's pits
A wave's favorite game is timing
When you're lost in it you can never be late
When you lose your breath all your plans are a waste

Baby baby baby could we do it again
I've yet to get how bodies could be a best friend
Relying on the selfishness of just-pleasing-me
Relying on the past will never make you free just delay you

Baby baby baby why don't you come back to me
I'll punch the numbers once and, feeling blunt, I'll give up
Consider all the foolishness in fooling around
Consider how our kisses made a quiet sound and delayed you
