Heavy Feet

Powder in your hair
Staples in your jeans
Fireworks at the water
You were holy
A styrofoam cup
Held between your teeth
You're telling me how you're going to outlive your body.

What you said I wrote it down
It won't say, it won't speak the same
Maybe I know better than
To read more than what's written.

After everything, after everything
Left in the sun, shivering
After everything.

Gathering your storm
I talk to fill the space
Do you know where so and so was
When they were our age?
Then every night you seem
To talk me out of everything.

Careful what you say next
Don't waste a single drop
What you said I wrote it down
It won't say, it won't speak the same.

After everything, after everything
Left in the sun, shivering
After everything.

What you said I wrote it down
It won't say, it won't speak the same
Maybe I know better than
To read more than what's there.

After everything, after everything
Left in the sun, shivering
After everything.
