lyrics

imagine if my first thought
on a cold drive south to the city
wasn't another damsel daydream of intimacy
another heartache hero rescue
another cry into your shoulder
another "hush, it's fine, come lie with me a while"

instead, i film private movies
in which i am your first thought
in which i'm lover, neighbour, everything
and i hold my own hand, skin on glove,
fingers laced together,
to make sure it feels different this time

my wishful school-bus thought is your attention
your fingers on my wrist, searching for a pulse
your hands that graze my forearm as you pull up on the blanket
and tell me everything looks different in the sun

i make do with self-acceptance
a little prayer and absolution
it's fine, because it never truly happened
so i'll live for public transit
for my cold drive south to the city
and i'll hold my gloved hand tightly, and with tenderness

and i'll cling to secret grief of recognition
my empty fingers searching for a pulse
and i'll wait for someone's song to break the silence
and tell me everything looks different in the sun
