as you were - Flor

Settling on the grass

In your finest of sweaters

It’s cheap thrift down

But it fits in your world

Stretched out at the sleeves

Where your nervousness eats it

And your color, well it’s worn down too

Will you say of me

I’ll only be yours

In a memory

In a distant world

I’ll say I knew you when

Your stars were shining

Still I will keep you there

As you were

As you were

There’s a book by your side

Reads of courage and conflict

An escape to a time

That you wish wouldn’t pass

And a sound in your head

That carries you gently

From the park- city locked

To a simpler home

Will you say of me

I’ll only be yours

In a memory

In a distant world

I’ll say I knew you when

Your stars were shining

Still I will keep you there

As you were

As you were

As you were

As you were

I’m so sorry

It’s like my hands were tied

I’m so sorry

It’s like my hands

I’m so sorry

It’s like my hands were tied

I’m so sorry

It’s like my hands were tied

As you were

As you were

As you were

As you were

As you were

As you were

As you were
