Early as dawn
We were on the roof looking up
Watching as the sky changed its colour
Waiting for the sun
Bring up our coffee, mango on a plate
Back at home the air was so much colder in March
We were waiting to escape
Speaking without words
Languages of seeing and being seen
The feelings in the air
A silence we both can read
♪
In April we met
The boys down in the park
With a frisbee
Steal my bike and ride, diamond eyes
There is something about you with a smile
I'd yet to find a name for the feeling I got
From words you slipped to me
Did you know that I'd remember them all?
♪
I cut my hair much shorter
He would take me back home
You'd tell me you're sorry
I was leaving the party
I slept in her room in physical pain
From the choices I made
Those summer months
You stayed with me
For days at a time
We'd walk to the park
Watching the sky get darker
You lay by my side so far from fine
All of this time, keepsakes of mine
All of this time
Leaving behind
The hardest month to stomach
But I held my hands up close to the fire
As everybody scattered (scattered, scattered)
I kept the loss deep inside my chest
When you left
I felt you were the only one I needed to be known by
Speaking without words
Languages of seeing and being seen
The feelings in the air
A silence we both can read
Speaking without words
Languages of seeing and being seen
Meet my eyes again
And tell me if you read me
