CONSTELLATIONS

constellations

and pinball vacations

and dreamy nights

when i didn’t know i could fly

 

on suede couches and blue light

i think i can see my house from here

when you pulled me in the cold that night

were dancing in the moonlight

 

no one could find us here

we made our great escape

we stargazed

said you saw six 

but i think that’s bullshit

 

danced into the living room when i was frustrated with you

we watched the snow fall on the balcony

we were tangled

in the sheets

 

ginger tea and glossy morning coffee

running to my head

getting distracted in the kitchen

so you carried me back to bed

 

starting fires just to watch them burn

we spent hours without a word

walked the golf course and kicked the ball

i always won you said it’s not my fault

 

no one could find us here

we made our great escape

we stargazed

said you saw six 

but i think that’s bullshit

 

i jumped into the cold cold lake

you should’ve seen the look on your face

we raced back to the living room

the light was still electric blue

 

running naked through the yard

running naked into your arms

we didn’t know a soul

but i had you and that's all i need to know

 

we stargazed

said you saw six 

but i think that’s bullshit

 

dancing to the blood moonlight

getting lost in october nights

on the dock with our red mugs

you photographed us falling in love

 

i jumped into the cold cold lake

you should’ve seen the look on your face

we raced back to the living room

the light was still electric blue
