Against the Window

It hasn't rained here in over one thousand days
and every footstep kicks dust off the pavement.
This town in the mountains feels flat to me.
Two dimensional, Styrofoam filled faces
as far as I can see.

Everything I said that night in your car.
You slamming your head against the window.
Had I been on the other side, the other side of the glass
I could have seen, who you really are.

Now I am mixing over the details, sipping rum with a pineapple back
and staring at the wound, it's getting green around the corners
and other things I don't want to look at.
So I strike up a conversation with a dark eyed alcoholic
and he is starting down my shirt.
I am praying if that's what you call it.

Everything I said that night in your car.
You slamming your head against the window.
Had I been on the other side, the other side of the glass
I could have seen, who you really are.
And whether you could have loved me ever...
But I was inside with you,
when the moment passed.

Now I am tugging at the scar on your lower lip.
Squeezing shut my eyes as time rips into us.
Destroying the fragile netting, here where I can hear you breathe.
You turn your head to look away, what was it that made you leave.

Everything I said that night in your car.
You slamming your head against the window.
Had I been on the other side, the other side of the glass
I could have seen, who you really are.
And whether you could have loved me ever...
But I was inside with you,
when the moment passed.
