Legal Pad Wallpaper Lyrics

The austerity of my blank walls

Like a canvas for late night feeling

Covered in legal pad wallpaper

I fill it with quick poems and meaning

Just tryna be more honest

Just tryna read the room

And spark up essential conversations

That can lead to a better me and you

While everything around us

Warps with heavy rains and winds

Blowing around our futures

As we traverse Alewife T walk hills

Still this common sense of grounding

Anchoring us in shower-locked arms

Amidst a tornado of transience

Surviving via purple chairs and deep morning talks

And I want you here under these walls

Making plans to get work done

And I want us to quickly break those plans apart

As we get lost in random fun

So I wait for the all clear

Half anticipating it never comes

And you actually do disappear

As I scribble away on legal pad walls

So I wait for the all clear

And I trust it will come today

With a poem or two at the ready

So again I'll be affirmed that I can stay

And you'll say, "you can stay"

And I'll stay at least for today
