I built the city when I first laid eyes upon it.
I made this chair when I sat down on it.
I killed you when I saw you already lifeless in the grass
beneath the apple tree that taught me about gravity.
Paint a rainbow when you opened my eyes.
Walked through the rest of my life expecting a big surprise.
Fell through the traps I found in picture frames.
Became the catalyst to my own decay.
I saw hellos when I first heard your good-byes.
Felt the tears of my laughter and the joys of my sorrow.
Shut my mouth and watched my open palm shake while it did the talking.
I do my best running when I'm faced with walking.
Bum a cigarette from a stranger,tell a line to feed a friend.
I saw a tall tree, you saw the opportunity to fall.
You dressed for winter like you didn't notice the summer at all.
We built this island when we stopped to see the sea.
Right in front of us while we slept way up in the apple tree
that taught us about gravity.
