I would love to love you but I know that it would be wrong. you got someone waiting for you who’s never done me no harm. I would love to touch you like a building on fire in my chest. so the only voice I turn to is the one I use to confess. it’s already done it’s already done. I would hold my breath I would take those steps out of your living room and into the blue. so I hold my head and I take what’s left. you know I lost everything the day I met you. I would love to love you like the movie that plays in my mind. like the boy in sons & lovers when he first sees the girl in white. it’s already done the film’s in the can. I would hold my breath I would take those steps out of your living room and into the street. so I hold my head and I take what’s left. you know I lost everything – the place in the world where we are free in a different year in a different town that isn’t here that isn’t now. I can see your face I can read your mind in another place where you are mine. in another time.
