Will we meet again tonight at 4am?
When I’m pulled the deepest in
Shallow breath, air thin
Chipped tooth, gold ring
If I had known
What a delicate thing
Would it have been
Any different?

Face to face, on a stage
Before god and everyone
They all get up and leave
Because this
Isn’t a very good show
I tell you I’m happy
The best I’ve ever known

But I want to know
You are too
I want to know
That you are too
There won’t be a long goodbye
I cry an unindulgent cry
Gold ring, chipped teeth
Quick breath, the air is thin
Will we meet again at 4am?

Grabbing the tail
Of something whizzing by
And then the light
Turns off the night
And you’re gone again
But wait
Just tell me you’re okay
With that smile I know
Like film exposed on my brain
Burned in forever
