Imaginary Sunshine

I remember summer nights

With cigarettes and bibles

Underaged cocktails

Wash down the confusion

I thought you were safe

But i was mistaken

For you were just a person

A person like me

And we’d shout our rage

Down by the water

Rip off all our clothes

Baptism only backwards

I felt so lost, I prayed to be found

I was jealous of your faith

Just longing for home

Now i count the cost

Of what I might have lost

By sheltering myself

From feeling the storm

Ignore the waves

Pretend there is no rain

Drink the wine and run towards

Imaginary sunshine

I was ashamed, I had to look away

But when part of you escapes

The rest of you remains
