a bird in hand

im trying to do the same thing everyone else does, differently.

sing.

the winter always brings the longest nights. but its never cold in a house so close. in a family of friends, the laughter so light.  you made a reflection of teeth. we’re drinking in your own happiness. alive with a life so relative. say you wont go.

theres no rush, just take your time.

sing another song. your voice inside my head. say you wont go, just sing to me again.

black highways trailing phone calls, im at the end of all your lines. this time i wont wake up in such an early dream. this time i’ll take blizzards in stride. there are cold hands and warm hearts. your broken car.  now im missing parts.

theres no rush, just take your time.

sing another song. a radio inside my head. say you wont go, just sing to me again.

tonight its just me and jack, that’s keeping november warm. written words to distract a man missing his thoughts. just keeping my mind intact, just sing to me again.
