Around You - Free Cake For Every Creature

Underage on the pavement

Streetlight as spotlight

Silent block, sidewalk seat

Pulling, picking weeds

Tell me all of it

You downplay the weight

By talking quick

While I braid your hair with my hands

Everywhere I look

There is a river

Notebook float that I live on

We gawk & laugh

Our tricks are the same color

Through the blue glass

The light just wants to hang around you

Time capsules already sorted through

& in the girls room, hip to hip

A circle of «I admit I…»

I just want to hang around you

Do you?

Made a magazine

Left off our names

Hid one in the toilet stall

Sprinkled a few in the hall

Stole the book about

Your favorite band

By throwing it out of the

School library’s window

Said you got a ticket

From speeding to see me

That whole summer we wrote letters like

Anaïs & Henry

You left some things unsaid

And i liked you more for that

& in the girls room, hip to hip

A circle of «I admit I…»

I just want to hang around you

Do you?
