Archipelago

V1

I get more attached to objects than to people

Something in my psyche won’t let me see it any other way

Watching the tide move, with you, the bumper held up by duct tape

C

You’re the kind, to tell me to run red lights when no one’s watching

Drive the coast, the archipelago, scattered islands

Fluttering eyelids, flip the switch, it someone starts talking

V2

Driving through my hometown feeling like I did as a kid

All the things we had to do just to say that we learned something

Rain falls through the sunroof like the way I always wished it did

V3

Fading in and out on the side of the highway

Reading a book found it the backseat, words painting a picture of something

You reject the keys in the ignition

I’m holding on your letting go of your last breath
