It was always a marriage
From the moment that you stepped into my hallway
Shy as anyone I'd ever known
You choose what to believe in
In this flippant time there's no real reason not to
We wrote letters to each other
As though addressing the ocean
That we stand before now
You in my old cardigan
And I in your blue jeans
And the light turned golden
On the distant headlands, and the ocean
You and I on the other side of the world
Love, it is no mystery
It never has been
No, not to me
I love because I see

But we never got better
We never got to talking
We never figured out the questions
We got good at walking
Walking the streets
When it was too hot to eat
Walking in step, we can't help it
