Two colors faded in
To one sunset
You were always holding me up
I guess it never came up
In conversation now
I'm reassessing those situations
They say youth is wasted on the young ones
But who's to say when your youth is done
Just take it easy, take it slow
Gauged earlobes, artisan soap
Records lined up wall to wall
Myspace photos, menthol Rhotos
You were dancing in the hall
I couldn't feel you right there with me
Clouded by the smoke and poetry
I let you slip into the sea
Hung over Sunday, Harvey Milk on Monday
Worried I was leading you on
Tortas Thursday, I just said, "Sure, stay."
You knew I just couldn't hold on
I couldn't feel you right there with me
Clouded by the smoke and poetry
I let you slip into the sea
I wasn't strong enough then
For the kind of man
You were shaping up to be
Years spent apart
When I broke my own heart.
Now, I'm humbled
Now, I see
I couldn't feel you right there with me
Clouded by the smoke and poetry
I let you slip into the sea
I let you slip into the sea
I let you slip
