You & Me

How I love your diction There's a reason to every line Gabbing like a greedy politician Who deep down knows what he's saying's not right But that's what I dig, you can see through bullshit And I'll circle and square but there's no getting 'round it We're like fire as a force We'll burn right through this forest We'll burn right through each other Say it together: Thank me later Then you'll sulk in the doorway I'll sit on the floor like a child would I don't know where the dirt under my nails came from But I know I stay clean Seems you've been real perceptive lately And I admit that's more than I've achieved Your legs should be fine but you still have to pay for the ambulance I was called in that day, you said "I've got some news I've been reading Ishiguro and the Harvard Law Review I've been building up my stamina, my strategy, my gravitas And I stood there, confusingly not confused I replied: "I understand why did these things, I understand that life can bring some questions to the forefront of your mind But going crazy isn't the way We're standing on a king-sized bed We've got money to last the rest of our lives And the dialogue kept going for an hour or more Till our legs collapsed and we realized the taxation of worrying We faced opposite ways Vowed to stop counting the days Realized there's no fun in being miserable and so suddenly we felt okay (We're two worrisome individuals but I think we'll make it out okay) One more conversation to have: Where should we live? You suggest a humble abode I called that cheesy and you said that everything is You hit the spot with that one Had me feeling some kind of way Your diction's still dreamy, you know how to get me We'll feel like some fairytale gaze Your legs should be fine but you still have to pay for the goddamn ambulance And I'll come for the ride cause those EMTs are especially masculine If I get desperate for rhymes, you can rip up my shit and we'll start again I've come a long way, I can navigate away from the tactlessness Fifty years from now, we'll have it together while the others are still scrambling And by that time, the ambulance will be free We'll realize there's a lot more to this world than you & me Thus we'll realize we don't need to realize anything We don't have to care about whatever's not called you & me
