Have you seen the tide pools on the coast
Their miniature worlds constructed carefully?
And each tiny part fits to the others like the track list on a mix cd
And each one needs the others to stay trapped there to survive
Or maybe that's that's just what it feels like
When you're stuck there on the inside
And my friend wove me a blanket
And on their couch there they explained
How it's just the tension between the fibers
That bears such fantastic weight
How the patterns of their bodies over and over intertwine
Pulls our glances tight at some February house show on the East side
But was it just something in the way I looked at you
Or was it burning in the words I sang to you?
Or was it buried in the very special kind of isolation that we shared?
You know you might be my silver key that I lost in Arizona
Or maybe you're my catalytic converter
And maybe I'm out fifteen-hundred dollars
But in the darkness beneath that blanket I will find a place to hide
A shelter from the world like a pool built by the tide
And let the missed calls from my landlord pile thirty thousand high
Don't you know I'll be okay just give me a couple weeks or so
Cause it's running wild in the way you look at me
And it's writhing in the way you challenge me
And it's woven in the way your ocean heart just drags me out again
Don't you know that you're the tension before a jump
Into a summer river from a bridge?
And you're the hunger in the drunken light
That pours out of my fridge?
Don't you know that you could hotwire this old haywire heart
And drive it off a fucking cliff?
I've always been good at getting your old truck to start
