Nightsmoke

I would've told you that I love you But I was far too scared So I let the smoke out from our mouths Speak for us instead And the phantom of us intertwined Curled above our heads Let the waters of the fountain roar out For my heart instead If I could you know I would Write it all over a lantern in big bold strokes Launch it into the sky But I can't tell you it's a secret prayer Same as the one you folded small Tucked in the Jerusalem wall And I would say see you next lifetime Like Erykah Badu But you don't even believe in next lifetimes So we're both just screwed And you would say it's all in God's plan If that still worked for you But now you don't believe in God Between us that makes two If I could you know I would Write it all over a lantern in big bold strokes Launch it into the sky But I can't tell you it's a secret prayer Same as the one you folded small Tucked in the Jerusalem wall I would've told you that I love you But I was far too scared So I let the smoke out from our mouths Speak for us instead And the phantom of us intertwined Curled above our heads Let the waters of the fountain roar out For my heart instead
