To My Last Breath

Haste

Summer with the lights out

Finds me in my parent's basement,

Watching bedroom movies.

Pictures and holidays hang in the hall.

Guided by memory.

Where we stand is where we'll jump from.

It doesn't seem so far

From finding common surface

And to still retreating hearts.

Once choice turns two aside.

A direction thought in common.

A passing glance serving as a makeshift alter. Whispering, we confess.

Where we stand is where we'll jump from.

It doesn't seem so far

From finding common surface

And to still retreating hearts.

From the playground to my last breath

Doesn't seem so far

From finding common surface

And to still retreating hearts.

Keep hoping for movie miracles.

The windows are frames

And the scenes can change.

I would have had to kiss you

At the drive-thru window

If they had their way.

Where we stand is where we'll jump from.

It doesn't seem so far

From finding common surface

And to still retreating hearts.

From the playground to my last breath

Doesn't seem so far

From finding common surface

And to still retreating hearts.
