please ignore

it's so much easier to get drunk on the city

at night, when every car is reflecting fifteen

lights, and the music and perfume and the

strange air blow through your mind like a word being

whispered

now, it's unusual to remember being so

high up, after all the time you spent disbelieving

in luck, and it's hard to to forget falling so

far down, even after you tried getting 

played around.

try going back in time, now, going back in time

to the cable cars and rosemary trees

try going back in time, now, if you've got the time

to the buildings bright white and all the windows

flashing fifteen lights

these days you never really think about your

better times, when we were happy to communicate in

riddles and rhymes, and nothing was so complicated 

like this, and we were fools in a foolish state

of bliss

do you remember when we did things like

not give up; do you remember forgiving just because

you're in love; these days we're afraid and doing it

all half assed, do you remember when things

wouldn't be like that

let's try going back in time, now, going back in time

to a simpler state of being

try going back in time, now, if you've got the time

before the maybe and the might and my running

after fifteen lights
