ours

(album: soft thing - 2021)

Don't lie to me
When you lie to you, you lie to me
We sit same fence, same view
Where you from, I'm from too, and

We can go the distance
I know you like the defined shapes
No open space, I know
So you can be the witness
Even on a day shift
Lose nothing but patience

From you, even the moon not far
From where we landing, and nothing is apart
We can ride off in a daze upon the
Wings of what's been told to us before or
Ooh, we can make it ours

The silkworm into a moth is
No stroke of luck, it's a birthright
I wake, sniff out the weakest link
It's not a foul shot if I don't believe in
Lines in the first place to divide right
I've learned to bring flowers to our fist-fights
I've never liked warring with you
Sitting same bench, same view

So we can go the distance
I know you like defined shapes
No open space, I know
So we can be the witness
And when it all shift
Lose nothing but patience

From you, even the moon not far
From where we landing, and nothing is apart
We can ride off in a daze upon the
Wings of what's been told to us before or
Ooh, we can make it ours
