Elope

On a Saturday night
When the air was clear
I took you onto the patio
And whispered in your ear
Would you come away and
be a rebel at heart
be a stowaway and love me
right from the start

Did you know?
You have caught my eye since second grade
Do you know?
I even remember when you laughed in my face

But I forgave the many times
That you stole my heart
And ripped it out
It’s okay that you never wanted me
Because now you come back like
A homing pigeon

We took the midnight train
To the Baltic shore
And stood outside
Wishing and wanting more
WE stayed under the stars
Til the sun came up
When we realized we might
Have screwed up

Did you know?
That money can only go so far
Do you know?
There is not a lot of gas in the car

But I forgive you for
The waste of the money
It is my fault
I trusted you too much
But let’s not fight or bicker
Because love is bigger than both of us

Solo

We decided that It was not
A good choice
No more screaming or I
Might lose my voice
We will go back and
Still be together
But that’s the last time
We elope forever

We are like homing pigeons
Knowing our place
We might want to leave
But we end up going back
