for all the distance

you make me want to win
but i am sure that i will lose

this game if i keep placing
all of my x's before your

oh
those sky bright eyes

as you pass me by
so this is what it's like

being nudged by reasons
to do it over and better

so this is the madness
of getting glad

and this is the lens 
that imposes possibilities

dusk clears off the runway
of your shoulders

and the twinkling skyline
of your smile

do you see how i am
when i wrap myself 

in how i feel about you
i shiver with the best

of them and wonder
how i can keep quiet

when all of my bones
rattle a requiem for

the handful of seasons
i watched you pass by
