Sweet Sixteen

You and me since sweet sixteen
A history set cast
This new town we drive around
A future built too fast
Every day brings sudden pause
Quit living in the past
Let me see you set this free
Heart shattering like glass
Does it get better than this?
Where is the infinite bliss?
All that was said I still hear
Over and over and over and over again
Of a dream left so serene
We’re shaking off the rust
Blindside hit don’t want to quit
These aching depths of love
Every quiet thought alone
The worst is rising up
Reach a hand out and bring back
The empty visage of...
Your everything framed alone
Caught with a smile once known
Let out a laugh I can feel
Over and over and over and over again
I'm ok are you ok?
I’ll dream another day
Borderline, you are your mind
You see only in red
All these notes written to me
Still find them everywhere
Tiny things graced with your name
I never seem to spare
Where in the world are you now?
Endlessly curious how
Did we become something else
Over and over and over and over again
Said you went out east alone
Tried to be nearby once more
Add to “Things I Never Knew...”
Never will I ever ever ever understand
You and me since sweet sixteen
Closed eyelids play it back
Our old love so Byzantine
Blessed amnesiacs
