Amid the cries of teenage angst
I heard your fragile voice
It was summer, you were classic
And I was just a boy
It felt like drive-in movies
And truth be told, it was
We kissed by light of silver screens
And there was no stopping us
Buttons, zippers
Pockets, lace
I walked you to that vintage store
Where you bought that summer dress
You tried it on, I tried you on
A polka-dotted mess
And if only they could wear these smiles
Or watch the way we kiss
But not a picture or a movie
Or a song could capture this
Buttons, zippers
Pockets, lace
But this isn't 1950
You're no Marilyn Monroe
Autumn's coming 'round again
It's time for me to go
And if one day you hear my name
I hope you stop to think
Of our record player love
And the way I spoke with strings
Buttons, zippers
Pockets, lace.

Venice

She's like Venice
Beautiful and going under
And I can't wait around
To drown
She's like Paris
City of Light me up
Like a cigarette
And Eiffel down
And you tower over
She never wants to settle down
She is everywhere I want to be
For now
She's like London
Queen of the rain
Queen of the sea
The sun never sets on her
Pretty face, let's face it
She's like New York
She never lets me sleep
And as I walk her city streets
Her buildings breathe, and traffic speaks

The sidewalk cracks
That trip me up
They're everywhere
They're everyone
Wanderlust
And summer sun
We're on the ropes
We're on the run
She brushes up
Against my cheek
Her lilac breath
Slips through her teeth
Words that catch
Like gasoline
She rubs my back
Along the seam
Something's changed in me
I'm more inspired than I used to be
The lights are making plans to dance
Across our tongues, across our hands
And as we watch, we come undone
By the glowing threads we've spun
Holed within
And hold without
Our whole escape
Is figured out
Follow me
Into the clouds
They're on our tail
They're coming down
Telegrams
And polaroid
We've made a mess
We're making noise
And if we break
Our ghostly poise
We'll say we're friends
We have no choice
Something's changed in me
I'm more inspired, and I'm losing sleep
The lights are making plans to dance
Across our tongues, across our hands
And as we watch, we come undone
It all makes sense and you're the one
Holding me down
Holding me down
