Wet Cement

Sunrise tearing down the old

In a moment's time, all is set in stone

Sometimes I like to run the road

Though the light moves fast, I still race it home

High noon sheds a new physique

What once was for you, for everyone to see

I knew I should've let it sit and steep

A smooth taste corrupted by the heat

No, I don't talk nice, talk sweet

I let my heart bleed

Cold nights, cold feet

When I'm on a hot streak

Tall ask, tall feat

To give you all of me

05/23

Etched in the concrete

Sunset ripping through the mold

In a moment's time, it's time to let me go

Someone is betting on my soul

The key no longer fits the hole

No, I don't talk nice, talk sweet

I let my heart bleed

Cold nights, cold feet

When I'm on a hot streak

Tall ask, tall feat

To give you all of me

05/23

Etched in the concrete

Back when it was wet cement

We were oh-so sure of it

Why would I stop to think it twice?

Back when it was wet cement

Pressed against our fingertips

Why would I wait for it to dry?

No, I don't talk nice, talk sweet

I let my heart bleed

Cold nights, cold feet

When I'm on a hot streak

Tall ask, tall feat

To give you all of me

05/23

Etched in the concrete

Back when it was wet cement

We were oh-so sure of it

Why would I stop to think it twice?

Back when it was wet cement

Pressed against our fingertips

Why would I wait for it to dry?
