Heavy Feet

Powder in your hair
Staples in your jeans
Fireworks at the water
You were holding
A styrofoam cup
Held between your teeth
You're telling me how you're going to outlive your body

What you said I wrote it down
It won't say, it won't speak the same
Maybe I know better than
To read more than what's written

After everything, after everything
Left in the sun, shivering
After everything

Gathering your storm
I talk to fill the space
Do you know where so and so was
When they were our age?
Then every night you seem
To talk me out of everything

Careful what you say next
Don't waste a single drop
What you said I wrote it down
It won't say, it won't speak the same

After everything, after everything
Left in the sun, shivering
After everything

What you said I wrote it down
It won't say, it won't speak the same
Maybe I know better than
To read more than what's there

After everything, after everything
Left in the sun, shivering
After everything
