you’re the reason i am where i am now
and where i am is nowhere near
you and your antics, your mistrials
your misfires or your silences
and where you were
was never where i’d been
we’d only sidestep,
dance, pretend
i’m the reason you are where you are now
and where i am is nowhere near
you and your songs, your rare smiles
your breath, your words, your promises
and where i was
was never where you’d been
we’d bash our hearts
together, then
you’d be the reason i am where i am now
and where i am is not quite clear
to you, or me, and all the while
i’m listening to your silences
i’m listening to your silences
i’m listening to your silences
i hear you in your silences
i’m with you in your silences
