I think the summer rains are over
streams are full with the fact
we're flushing out all the bad shit
that's been keeping us sad
we've only got two hands
and the current is strong
our hearts are large and unwieldy
we can't grab all that we want to keep
I don't know what I really need
and I don't what's good for me
Katie, you know how it goes
secret loves all hopped a train or drove away or I just
stayed home and left them alone
I'd hold them forever
wrap them up in my arms
no matter what they'd slip through my fingers
like water we aren't made to keep
there's still beauty in the world,
though it's getting hard to see
and there's still love inside of you,
even if it's not for me
the folks and things that keep us company:
who told you that they were for keeps?
and don't you think that they were creeps to try and keep
something so sweet?
