Kiss Me and Never Let Me Go

A Boy With Roses

I saw you there on the street
Three years before I was born 
It's crazy how one thought can change your day
Now I'm a lifetime away
And my dad was so young 
I walk down the same street
But I'm a little bit more lonely 

Outside of the Ballroom
Playing Victorialand like a movie scene
I remember the time who dares wins
And all of the people we lost along the way 
How I used to flinch when you were near me 
My cupid's bow
My widow's peak
My shy boy sensitivity 
And the glory dancing on your skin
How every promise was a lie
But you knew how to pull me back in 

Do you ever think about me when you're alone?
Soaking into a new composition
Like light polarizied in different directions 
Hard-bitten and ruminating in grassy meadows
Are we fools acting like angels in the dreams we borrow
Watching the scared view of the West from the crow-stepped gable?
Well, I am your unicorn
Your red, white and blue boy
Kissing memories fading like willow chalk
Hanging onto your every word
As soft as the mountains on the skyline  
Eating foxgloves and oranges
With the moonlight on my lips 
And the colour of November on my cheeks.
