Headhaunter
Wistful
[Verse]
I met you late last year inside that golden age
And you were worth the wait in it, that's clear
I chased you for a date and we had wild goose eggs and beer
Then we flew the coop with time itself
Two caged canaries caught causing coups
Who moved below their radars and noses all by ourselves
Black clouds, two heads, one storm
With one bright silver lining against the current, tripped power
It poured, and we spun bottles it filled with lightning
My jokes would land in honey as the milk slipped out restraints
While blood, sweat, and tears in the kitchen sink we accidentally spilt dripped down the drain
They tied that bag with threads of fate but that bronze cat got out anyways
And rolled out the carpet for colored herrings
It snagged from waters I tested late
I'd stare at couple's flags on distant ships
You would jump to others that passed at night
To stretch your sea legs, so loose lips sealed both our fates to sink or sink
You'd count on me to sleep on the white lies you said
So I wolfed down an egg and pulled that wool right off my head
On the lam while you wore your sheep-skin disguise to bed
I watched my life grind to a halt, and fiery sparks had flashed before my eyes
Just like ours did inside the pan with a final shot to light the dark
You talked my ear off about your reasons
Communication issues between us
You said I use too many idioms, but in that case we're in agreement
Yet I'm not here to villify you, and there's no apology that you owe me
I'm just passing by, here parked on memory lane until they tow me
