I See You See

We were down by the lake, You stood five foot ten. I was near enough the same, But I shrunk when you held my hand. I didn't mean to be so weak, But the water knocked me down. You were there to rescue me, But you only helped me drown. You were writing love songs in the sand When the shore swept the words away. The empty lines that formed our names Were filled back in grain by grain. We cartwheel on by the worn-down cliff-sides, One of your eyes half of my mind, I see you see there's an end in sight, I play pretend that everything's alright. We were down at the lake, You had started to crack. I saw your eyes give way, You wanted the old us back. Well you know what they say about love, That it comes in waves and then goes. Then you're lost out at sea, Perpetually. You were writing love songs in the sand When the shore swept the words away. The empty lines that formed our names Were filled back in grain by grain. We cartwheel on by the worn-down cliff-sides, One of your eyes half of my mind, I see you see there's an end in sight, I play pretend that everything's alright.
