Sidecar
I think probably more than most things What I've been missing Has been stability I don't want to swing dance on a hurricane anymore There are tides & times for everything But you get older And want to build great big things With foundation And mortar And humility And When you feel lonely For escaping a natural disaster You know in your heart these things aren't healthy These things aren't for you But you crave them Like hummingbirds do heart attacks And everything you've ever loved and written has been fiery But you want to be full And whole And solid And sound And You can't be those things when you are on fire And that's okay You are okay This will be okay Because you remember what your last crushing 3am phone call felt like And you remember picking yourself up 3 months later And you remember loving her with every fiber of your being Until you couldn't anymore And that's what this is Lasting But only in so far as you are preserved A lighthouse standing in the cool sidecar of the ocean Because You can't bend the curve or the tide if you are rubble
