• I wish it were as easy as red dye
    the spark of design I see in your eye.
    What can't be written still might be expressed
    You showed me pictures of your
    last time in a dress.
    Took it upon yourself to feel alive
    Climbed every tower that could've crumpled at your side.
    But, Oh, your thoughts should stay with me for awhile.
    You should drop the boy &
    leave with a smile
    Stood against the wind on the rood just to talk to you today
    The sun was out, and got in your way
    Too ambitious mom & dad would always say
    Dropped pennies off the roof & swore it was the feeling
    That hurt, not the weight.
    You like to name stars after your friends
    Spread yourself out, and you'll never end.
    But, Oh, you can't believe what hangs around your neck.
    The arms of lovers you'd promised to protect
    But it's just ten fingers with you tonight.
    The sound that built your towers so very high.
    It never crumpled, it was built so well.
    You held my hands
    and
    Together we fell.
