Afloat

I see you outside

Near trees, near buildings

They loose all their limbs around you

I lose my place too

All my thoughts they drown in my mouth

And its hard to keep them afloat

But your interest stays each word

It tracks down all my frightened words

I risk a long enough glance

To take in all your face

Thank goodness i notice your crooked teeth

But it doesn’t help me speak

All my thoughts they drown in my mouth

And its hard to keep them afloat

But your interest stays each word

It tracks down all my frightened words
