  • Phopsphate and Sugar

Remember how I loved you
And You loved me right back
We were both collapsing clouds
Floating fingers in the dark
We’d make out in the cold
Our lips like sunny days
Firey rays upon our tongues

The world no longer with us
Just the sounds out in the night
Leaning on your fathers pickup
Tangled up and holding tight
I’d look up you were so tall
The snow began to fall
Flakes melting on my lids

The moon was crystal clear
Beaming light up the fields
And we knew our time was up
At the sound of my dads truck
Charging through the snow
Changing atoms as it go
breaking our fingers up

Oh, we were so young
Everything had just begun
So sure of who we’d be
And where we’d find each other
Just phosphate and sugar
Glowing in the dark

We’d risk the angry breakup
father yelling at the make out
It was half past the hour
dad yelled the ball was over
Breaking through the sharpening air
Headlights through the snow
Causing a milky way between us

Riding back in silence
Dad scowling at the wheel
Fingers rubbing out the leather
Plotting out my sentence
Outside I spot a snow owl
Hiding in a drift
Great glowing saucers in the dark

I thought about the next year
When this whole place would be spark
Just the current of a memory
Flitting about inside the dark
Passing years into the future
No space for starry nights
The first sadness of the flight

Oh we were so young
Everything had just begun
So sure of who we’d be
And where we’d find each other

Just phosphate and sugar
Just phosphate and sugar
Just phosphate and sugar

Glowing in the dark
Glowing in the dark
