You used to step into my studio
see the palette across my thighs
You’d think I was painting landscapes
then you’d see the look that was in my eye
I’m mixing up that burgundy
gotta get that tint just right
Well, you knew what that color meant
someone was gonna die
I’ve got the temperament of a seashell
I’ll sit till I’m washed up or ground away
Well, I am delicate and multihued
But still I’m empty
Because the things that lived inside of me
got restless and went to sea
Iridescent sand in the palm of your hand
where this boy used to be
Now I’m jumpy like a liquid crystal
a piece of quartz performing its quick shake
I don’t gears or springs or a glowing screen
to rustle me awake
Some people they use shadows
or slender hands across a face
You won’t catch me waiting for a bell to chime
I tell time by the way I ache
And now I love you most each morning
though some evenings I grow cold
It’s not an early frost or a whiskey rocks
that sets my thermostat so low
It’s just some afternoons it dawns on me
one day we’ll be so old
I need a kiss that’s like a campfire
if you could be so bold
