Sailing

If I could sail

I'd sail away

Far away

I'd sail away from this place

But I wouldn't go to another

I would stay in between

Refusing to stay

Refusing to go

If I could sail

I'd bring my friends

Because knowing me I'd see a spider and fall overboard from fear

Or shipwreck because I don't know how to steer

Or accidentally cut all the sails

And get stranded on an island somewhere

Yes

I'd bring my friends

They'd probably end up having to lock me belowdecks

But that's okay

I wouldn't die

If I could sail

I'd sail as far as I could

Or I'd say I would and turn back

As soon as I cross the line of buoys

I'd sail if he came with me

He's everything

I'd sail if my people did too

If I could sail I'd try to

But it's probably best for everyone if I didn't

  • Instincts

    Some things are just instinct

    like when I just ran to you

    as soon as I saw you

    and hugged you for -

    oh yeah -

    the first time

    very very platonic of course

    you're my big brother.

  • Flying solo

    Your solo is like sun shining through the clouds in my heart

    it's like a platonic ballad

    it's like you are playing

    through first loves

    and forbidden loves

    and grass in the summer

    and crunchy chips

  • What am I doing?

    What am I doing?

    What am I doing?

    I say I love this

    and I like to think that I'm good at it

    Am I?

    I don't think so anymore

    I forget to practice for lessons I dread
