A Photograph We Didn’t Take

I recall

Winters that passed

Like a blade of grass

Flowing with the autumn wind.

The smile on my face

Your hair in the wind

Out of place

The patience of elders wearing thin.

All my names

And all her letters

People with umbrellas

Can't embrace the weather

But poets always make mistakes

and muses never hesitate

We crawl back in

Run for shelter.

And in our eyes

The faces we meet

Down the street

Names they will never know.

No one will see

the ground beneath our feet

Places where we used to go.

On The Run

(Verse 1)

Come, lets burn this house down

It speaks to me no more

Let's travel to a different place

We haven't been before

(Pre-chorus)

And we could change our names

We could look the same

And we can eat all day

On the trees where we'd lay

(Chorus)

But time, time...will you let me be?

Time, time...can I please be free?

(Verse 2)

You hide from the sun

When the day has just begun

And when the sun goes down

You're nowhere to be found

(Pre-chorus)

And we could change our names

We could look the same

And we can eat all day

On the tree where we'd lay

(Chorus)

But time, time...will you let me be?

Time, time...can I please be free?

(Verse 3)

Yes we are on the run

To call a place our own

And when we're almost done

We won't be alone.

(Repeat pre-chorus and chorus)

(End)
