Crumbling
We danced through a long night of drinks
As distant stars began to bleed into a new day
Had a silly conversation about everything that love is
And knowing what to let go of is really more important to the heart
And that’s how this all came to start
Distance never healed me more than a laugh with you just before bed
“Marry me a second time” you say to me so cheerfully
You can’t feel with any certainty that things won’t disappear tomorrow
I quietly assure you that it’s just an old piece of sorrow in the heart
That’s how this all came to start
Kaleidoscope of butterflies flies in the way
As melting instruments of innocence beginning to play
We’re crumbling like the plaster in this house - falling over with time
Mixing all of yours with mine and casting them out as far as eyes can chart
from the heart
And that’s how this all came to start
