Never Better

It was never better than when you laughed Like the rainfall filling my raft And you were the name that I asked Praying that the storm wouldn't pass You could call me Captain And so I would be In a ship perfectly Between sinking and drinking the sea It was never better than when we spoke Two prisoners making a rope And that was what it meant to have hope The fire in a house made of smoke Did we know what we did Was it a whirlwind con Or the plan all along Were we escaping or already gone I'll be living in a moment I'll be both and between and besides I'll be noon at midnight Skipping rocks into the turn of the tide I'll be hanging like an omen I'll be looking like I haven't been fed It was never better than when we were Haunting something words left unsaid It was never better than at the end Which I met like a spark in the wind And I knew that all would depend One something I couldn't defend I will live two lives And stand, clapping my hands  Watching Jericho's band In the place before a woman and man I'll be living in a moment I'll be both and between and besides I'll be noon at midnight Skipping rocks into the turn of the tide I'll be hanging like an omen I'll be looking like I haven't been fed It was never better than when we were Haunting something words left unsaid
