Twice

This song

I could listen to this song

100 times in a row

400 times in a row

it's so good you forget that it's even playing

(does that make sense?)

it just starts to blend into the background of your life

as you lie in bed

and look up to the ceiling of words that you placed above

to possibly inspire you

or help calm you

during a frantic night

this song

I could listen to this song

when you were in my arms

so young back then

humming along to the words you didn't know

young love

youthful love is frightening because there is nothing like it

ever again

it's there and will never come back

this song

I could listen to this song

on long drives

to Big Sur

and back again

this song

I could listen to this song

and take the drugs that fucked with our

lungs again

this song

I could listen to this song

and rip my teeth out

because there is nothing more perfect to do at a moment when you feel that no sound could be more beautiful.
