lyrics

So long see you sailor
it might not be new but it's new for her.
Put this apple in your pocket call me when you get there.
The flowers are blooming in the highway meridian.
Everywhere I look I see things you'd like to take a picture of
I shutter my eyes but it comes out blurry.
I ate all your favorite candies
but left the wrappers in the bowl
you might not have noticed but the suitcases are down from the attic.
The paint peels from the ceiling in meaningful patterns
Last calls, sign my cast
hidden hip flask and ask me anything.
Under the empty stadium seating
does every city have a Roosevelt High
she hiked up her knee sock blue jacket
blue kiss
good
By the seashore huddled and cold
by the way
by the way she couldn't say it
took me twelve years to get correct postage
I just meant to tell you
static on the line
holarctic blue coppers
cut up the sky.
