Lake Jesup Lyrics

There's not enough time in the day

I miss the subtle way

You'd hold my frame

Nor space, enough for me to erase

To satisfy my place

To earn my given name

But I'm here - and isn't it so clear?

How we could disappear

I know that's what you'd want

In time, I wish we'll come to see

And tend our wounds so tenderly

'Cause I'm not so good at being up front

So no, I'm not impressed

I know it's not the best

But I'm - well, I'm just one girl

I hope that you think about me once in a while

And I can't believe it when I see you smile

It still makes my stomach swirl

My passenger seat's your bed

The motion rocking head

My digits float from your knees to your chest

I hope you can get some rest

I can hold you; you're real

It's hard to believe, it's not made-up

While I'm driving towards the bridge

Past the Overview Park at Lake Jesup

My eyes rolling down the ridge

Of your brow, looking back to merge over

Desperately, I grasp the wheel

Turning to pull you closer

Over water, we flew

Carving our wake like an egret

You could change this fetid swamp

To a shimmering sea 'gainst the sunset

This is wrong; I'm a time bomb

Flatten my life down to couplets

Writing this like I could own you
