Gem in the Granite

Somehow in all this space and time
Like atoms we collided
Like atoms we divided

You sent me spinning through the air

You read your books
I read your lips
A gem in the granite
You are from another planet

A rule unto yourself

You’re just too good at playing games
With your arms wrapped around me
Your words that confound me
La da da, la da da

And then you let me go

You never know how far I’ll go
For you

You left my house but not my head
You’re in there baking brownies
Poking ‘round where you shouldn’t be

You’re now a shadow on the wall
A whisper in the breeze
A rustle in the trees
Another sleepless night
Another empty cup of tea

But I never let it show
And I’ll never let you know
And I’ll be fucked if I ever do
