We’ve got starfish logic and star-shine hearts.
Glitter is falling from the skies as the Earth is dripping away.
Please, please, let us never forget this night.
Dipping toes in murky water washes our ignorance clean.
The afternoon sun is transitioning to a moonlit scope.
Watch, watch, our tears are drifting into the sky.
Ice-cream laughter and strawberry sweet smiles are all we are.
We are made of chalk bones and cookie-dough skin.
Look, look, we’ll never break.
Pirouetting around the scene.
Confused eyes follow our interlocked hands.
See, see, they’ll never feel as good as we do now.
City billboards are screaming ‘chance’.
And late clocks are left behind.
Time, time, is nothing but a number.
The beach is purring our names and we’re jumping headfirst.
Teenage love was never meant to last forever but,
Now, now, is all we have.
The morning light is bursting into a cerulean painted sky.
We have yesterdays clothes and dishevelled eyes.
But, but, we’ll never end up like them.
Saturday nights are streaming into Sunday dawns.
The dust is rattling our stance,
Hold, hold, everything will be okay.
We’re writing out our funeral notes in the brightest day.
We’re eating poison labelled ‘happy’.
Guess, guess, what?
We love every moment.
