Amy O - Almost Fall

We parked close cuz I couldn't walk far
To Lake Michigan
Sand dunes and black tar

Street lights obstructing the stars
I left my shirt in the car
I dropped a pin on our blanket
I thought you'd get in the way kid

I'll just go swimming naked
Out to where I can't fake it

I kinda like thinking way too far
In the future, I can see it start
Follow my cue in the dark
Static electrical shock

Headlamp on slippery stairs
Sand in your you know where
I stopped the rain from falling
Summon my fear of the calling

I'll just go swimming naked
Out to where I can't fake it

It's almost fall, the season of disguises
I'll make a list of feasible surprises

Stopped by the house to tell you that I miss you
All day the clouds are purple like a big bruise, ooh

Ooh, ooh

Please take me back to the start
Pure and unbroken heart

Like on that trip to the mountains
No one could hear us shouting

Road signs were alphabet fountains
Reading our charts in the lounges

Of hotels and church ladies' homes
Waking up cold to the bone

I haven't patched up that hole yet
The sky is a bruise I can feel it

I'll just go swimming naked
Out to where I can't fake it
