Pick a flower, pick a rose
But it won't grow anymore
Tucked in curly hair
Dried by Monday
Maybe I'll press her
In between the pages
When I find her someday
Remind me of when love
Required no wither
Gaze from the end of the drive
This house used to be painted maroon
Now it's black and grey
Like I'm looking right at you
Ache to walk in,
Lay under the skylight
On top of the stairs
But I'm a stranger now
Once ruled kingdoms there
Forgot I was a chronic lover
Trip over my sentences and shoes
Forgot I was a reckless lover
Here's my heart,
Undying gift to you
Forgot I was a tender lover
The stone begins to crumble
When I reflect on its tumble
This hopefulness inside my chest
Solely placed there
By the dew
Beneath my feet
Like childhood mornings
Breath taken away
Another mountain view
Bent down to feel the rushing
Over my hands
Almost forgot
How my heart can awaken
Forgot I was a chronic lover
Trip over my sentences and shoes
Forgot I was a reckless lover
Here's my heart,
Undying gift to you
Forgot I was a tender lover
The stone begins to crumble
When I reflect on its tumble
