Dotted Lines

i spun around in the moonlit sky
i'm hanging over like a satellite
you wanna understand but i can't explain
i knew you well before i said your name outloud
now it seems I'm a day behind
staying up until I'm going blind
i hear your voice and all the noise ends

i want to draw you in dotted lines
cut you out until i make you mine
i'll sew you to the sleeve of my favorite coat
take you with me everywhere i go
I'll write us both a bridge we can walk across
all one line so we can't get lost
and meet you at the ever after

i spent last night thinking of new words to make up
i passed my time wishing that i'd never wake up

i memorized all the colored words
sealed them up and folded into thirds
i had to borrow lines 'cause im running out
disappearing in the sunlight now
i can't hear anything over all this sound
another wave and i will surely drown
i hear your voice and all the noise ends
