When you resurfaced you looked less of a wreck
Than the world you distrusted
As if the calluses rough on your knuckles shifted onto the delicate part of your fingertips
Nothing tastes more bitter
Than the sight of you better
And the sound of content amidst the new world you entered
So when you revel in your stature when you've made your mark
I expect nothing short of divinity, awakening generations
As open as an invitation, letting them ask you anything
Darling was there anything you wanted to learn from me?
We walk fast down the peaceful roads and are sprinting through the busy ones
Fell in love by a passing, fell in a rush
Fell for the timid glances when our elbows brushed
Demanded I never give up, so darling compromise
Now that you're receding through the tides
When you find you way back to me will you be the same
Will I still recognize you from your footsteps or the cadence of your lines
Can I say that I still know you when the fear embedded in your milky eyes
Dissolves into the sea
When you find your way back to me will you have forgave
Your hometown and your mother for all that they've taken
All your time
All the questions you weren't asking until you knew me (you really knew me)
When you find your way back to me will you say that I've changed
When I hold you gaze and I dont falter when I claim
I'm doing well
Do I look well
I want to be well
I want to be well
