Valentina

I saw her calling for my head

Hair so gold but it splits in red

Like a fucked up mystery

I said why, yeah, we’re close indeed

But I’m just really thinking of ways we could never be

Together

Then I braced for the long embrace

She laid on me and her warmth filled my face

I was surprised

I was baptized

I’ve come to stay and our cheeks fall on soft goodbyes

Freedom has never been our friend

So, go now, until we meet again

Never mind, ‘cause I don’t mind the thoughts living on their own

Oh, Valentina, please haunt me alone

Patiently minding our own demise

It kills me to think I might never see her light

Shining down on heavens door

Why has life shut me out before

I found leopards prints all over the bathroom floor

Freedom has never been our friend

So, go now, until we meet again

Never mind, ‘cause I don’t mind the thoughts living on their own

Oh, Valentina, please haunt me alone

Tungsten lights bounce off the shaggy walls

And I thought to myself, “Boy I could haveit all”

As you lifted up your shirt, felt my inner hurt

Tell me that “it’s okay, this is the only way”
