lyrics

maybe i’ve fallen on hard times
maybe i’m hoping you’re still mine
i know these forks cannot be defined
our love felt like the tender kind

goldfinch on a growing pine
i’m bonded to you beyond a rhyme
cuz you were the shelter and i the vine
souls can’t help but intertwine

could it be a glowing sign?
does love take cues from the divine?
not a fiery festering, but a sweet sublime
it was you i hoped i’d find

the virus ain’t over, it’s still in its prime
and i worry bout you and your restless mind
your immunosuppressant, your enzyme
i hope you’re well, i hope you’re fine

take me back to the night on the coastline
when you told me you loved me at the tourist dine
when the stars felt like they had aligned
when we had plans, when we had time

a year has passed, a year has fled
I thought i’d put the past to bed
now my nerves are fraying, my heart is lead
feelings i doused to get ahead

you were the man i would’ve wed
looking back on all the skin i shed
i’ll be your friend, the words we said
now behind us is a tattered thread

i crossed myself, i toiled and plead
it still left hell and swelling dread
what happens when your dreams are dead?
do they resurrect elsewhere instead?

I wonder what spring means in red
not painting the doors of your new toolshed
daffodils must be grown in your flowerbed
while the birds are singin overhead
