Jet

I want to see you dressed in nothing
Write on your skin that you’re mine forever
Show you a different way to love
Paint you in verse
This is what I can do
We’re flowers grown under a storm
With strong roots in a field of salt
Kissing your cheeks while you cry salt
I’ll learn to love you without hurting us, without hurting us

I’d take you up on a jet with your name
Where the roof of the world is a big carpet of purple clouds
And maybe for you
I could stay straight, overcome the obstacles

And I’ve got the face of someone who’s taken more kicks than anything
The same as someone who spent their money on booze
You’re so beautiful I’d rip your clothes with my teeth
And you make the shooting stars feel ashamed
You look better without lenses, better without makeup
When you’re smiling, the world’s less ugly
I thought it was late, but it’s two
Feeling lonely or being alone together, being alone together

I’d take you up on a jet with your name
Where the roof of the world is a big carpet of purple clouds
And maybe for you
I could stay straight, overcome the obstacles
Do you believe in miracles?

Have you ever drunk from a glass full of glass shards?
It gets worse if I drink today and look back
If I swing on a swing at the edge of a skyscraper
And the push takes me to the peak
Higher than the whole world
And I don’t really know who you are, but if you’re looking for me
Divided we don’t make sense like semicircles
Looking for another home, NASA satellites
That navigate where others gravitate
Without a sense
I spit rhymes like thick smoke
In the last rows like the tears of those who lost and don’t want to say it
And hope to get back on track
The sky’s the limit and we’ll surpass it
Erase the bruises and cuts we have
And in this mess, I know we can laugh
I lose myself in the iris of the most beautiful eyes I’ve ever seen
You tell me to stop and I can’t resist, goodbye
