Never felt so comfortable or certain in my skin.
Couldn't find where laughter stops and intimate begins.
You never, oh never, you never could, ever, have held me up.
But be a crutch for me and don't ask why.
Been a lazy Protestant.
Some flotsam in the brine.
Just a modest malcontent who cannot tell time.
I never, oh never, could ever ask for you to help me up.
Just give your hand to me and entwine the lie.
That we never, oh never, could hold it together creating life.
I think that I'll be glad we gave it a try.
