The Two of You

In a whisper, you two told me what to do
I haven't done it all, but I remember every word
I keep them in a glass bright spot
Where they blink at me like little gods

I never thought that I'd have regrets
Even with bad choices in my face
I scorned the cold to spite the ice
I enjoyed the shivers and paid the price

It’s sinking in
Under slate cliffs of snow
Thoughts of you keeping me warm
Even when I’m changing slow
This is all there is
I know...

You said don’t follow signs long removed
Channeling the flow through days in steel rivers
Running barefoot on sheets
Ignoring the turning stone beneath

We're slowly understanding the two of you
Making the selfish choices of lovers
There’s so much fiction that has to die
To build ourselves with our own eyes
Our own eyes...

You’re always clear
When the sun lingers low
Carry me when I’m worn
You lead my shadow home
This is all there is
I know...

In a whisper, you two told me what to do
I haven’t done it all, but I remember every word
