This Rink That We’re In

[Verse:]
This rink that we’re in
I slip while you skid
Hit my back on the rim
Broke my heart just for kicks, oh
Oh
Hey

This dream that I find myself sinking in
Six months to a flight to Boston
Bet I’ll hear you say “awesome
She’s finally gone and”
Oh
Hey

[Pre-Chorus:]
This light pollutes the star in me
I’ll keep on singing my broken dreams
The two things that kept me up left me too
I’m confused

[Chorus:]
But I keep my skates and I move
(Bet I’ll hear you say “awesome”)
Oh
(Just for kicks, oh)
Oh
Oh
(She’s finally gone and)
Hey

[Verse:]
This room where we sit and smoke
Unprepared, lungs are full and heart is shallow
The vibe is here, it’s got me mellow, oh
Oh
Hey, hey

This promise I kept to myself
I’d love you like nobody else
Until I didn’t feel it
Guess my time is up
I’m feeling, no more
No more
Hey

[Pre-Chorus:]
This light pollutes the star in me
I’ll keep on singing my broken dreams
The two things that kept me up left me too
I’m confused

[Chorus:]
But I keep my skates and I move
(Bet I’ll hear you say “awesome”)
Oh
(Just for kicks, oh)
Oh
Oh
(She’s finally gone and)
Hey

[Breakdown:]
Bet I’ll hear you say “awesome”
Just for kicks, oh
She’s finally gone and

[Outro:]
"We sat grown quiet at the name of love;
We saw the last embers of daylight die
And in the trembling blue-green of the sky
A moon, worn as if it had been a shell
Washed by time’s waters

I had a thought for no one’s but your ears:
That you were beautiful

And yet we’d grown
As weary-hearted as that hollow moon"
