I can remember what the night smelled like,
It wasn't long after the preshow laughter.
I can remember what it might have felt like,
If this might have happened if I might have had her...
I can still feel the insecurity
And my heart in my chest,
I swear it was the best,
On the heels of a fucking genius
But not quite good enough,
Not quite needing this.
I can still feel my greed
And the pain of just not being there,
Letting this slip through our fingers
Until I took you home.
Long walks have never been so short
And it was all we could do
Just to force conversation,
As if we were both so close to exploding
With the love we wanted to share
To the point where it almost seemed bitter.
And so we gave it up...
We were defeated and the night expired beautifully
To confirm it.
