LESTER
*click for meaning!
I only worry that I’m crazy
Cause if it’s at all true
Then it’s all true
You said soon we’ll be leaving this place
And the life it defined
And you were lookin' hella phased
I was still making up my mind
I put them words in the open and they oxidized
Falling, golden and heavy, in the middle of the room
You were pouring over them, I was pouring over you
Snagged by the glinting of your open, glossy eyes
Tryna decide if it’s clarity, or a reflection
Is it careful tension, or an embarrassing infection?
We can’t get any closer without touching, I said
Without us both going through it
And they say the day you die is when you meet your match
So you’re probably hoping that I cut you some slack
And that wouldn’t be so bad
If I didn’t have to eat
But if I catch sleep in the shower
I can maybe get an hour
Cause now I know the difference
Now I know the difference
Between a prayer and a preference
Between desire and a deference
Cause I always leave with love
A new pouch in my pocket
It’s a sweet, slow drip, but in my vice grip
It’s all gone by the morning
Ya know ya man always want more in the morning
You’re the heroine
Good god yeah you feel so smooth
When you come through, I see you
On the next page in the wreckage of the towers in flames
Handing out blankets to the families praying
Baby I’m a young lover down on my luck
Undercover as a stick in the mud
Then I can be your partner man
I can be your partner like Chan and Chris Tucker
Without touching, though, no I can’t do without touching
If that’s asking too much we can just close the book
But don’t ya wanna know if you’re supposed to look
I wanna know if ya know my name
Should I go, should I go say hey?
Should a ghost say hey?
