knees scraping through the reeds on the path to the bridge
where we sit and then
they'll smoke and I'll dangle my feet over the edge
and stare at the water
we say it's time that we're leaving but we'll meet again in the evening
I'm not working early tomorrow
and we've both got time to kill
in the early afternoon when the sun hits right
my expression's transparent
like moths wings
on a summer night when the breeze whispers phrases you'd say
got no savings left to believe in
but man I believe in the feeling
we spent the last of our tips
on a breakfast for four in the downtown
when you're tired but regardless you stay
in a mood you don't like either way
and I'm tired of calling your name
I'm bitter and cold all the same
