Don’t hesitate and wait for signposts to raise the stakes
 Your hands around my slow escape
 Time implodes then starts again, and forms in shapes

 Pale as water and paper thin
 These subtle meanings won’t make the grade
 I bought a rainbow to guard your sky
 In my defence, I don’t know why

 Sounds we didn’t share
 Five years gone and you still act like you don’t care

 Eyes roll into the sun
 Bright lights will harm no one
 Speak now my hummingbird
 Laughter won’t count as words

 We’ll pass the parcel
 Till the music stops
 But we won’t dance till we’ve forgot
 We can’t be single and we can’t be whole
 And the bitter [bad word] is we can’t be both
