chicago how many nights are we going to keep between me and you? this summer will seem like forever so lets set our sights on the fall. plan the plans we're ready for this chicago here i come. lets talk about the train tracks that carry this love that we share embracing state lines through the quiet of the night. consistent and calm the charm of our love chicago here i come. carnival rides this morning i will pare the dream from my mind, of Truman's midlife crisis and blue sofa couches, and i'll let loose of the town that was misplaced until it wasn't. you'll say that i'm admirable; just a wreck who can't sleep. i won't believe you and will push all of this away like wild hair in a movie set breeze. but in the movies this seems less like a chapter. because when my eyelids seal off like elevator doors they'll occasionally still force a slight drip of that chilling summer rain to gather up - it collects and pours out like the music we missed lying beneath the church of carnival rides. just look at the stars folded hands cramped from prayer answered only when you wake up with balloons, filling this room fanned by hospital haste. swollen eyes, a heart wide open pulsing cadence set to machines struggle to disassemble, attempt to comprehend perfection in this plan. we all saw christmas just in time beneath blankets, within whispers hushed voices can climb like loving hands extended to your sleeping side. a way to track that pathway of light. all you wanted to see were stars waking the sky, but i swear you'll feel the sunrise soon warming your hospital room. |
