Our table’s peppered with
coffee stains round
And hopes fall apart as words
spill on the ground
I’m counting the
crowds now I’m focusing fear
Eyes lock together and they all
disappear You’ve come to
console me in the middle of
town I climbed up to meet you
and you glided down
Public school groomed you
for old Ivy League
My parents still slave
in their dark factories
Working ‘till weary too old and
fatigued
So they may live
through me vicariously
But now that you’re here
we seek common
ground
‘Cause I climbed up to
meet you and you glided down
I’m lost in your gaze now
I’m looking for flaws a solitary
reason why I shouldn’t fall
I’ve said far too much now
there’s no need for confession
And you know what lies between
the secrets I’ve given
We’re sharing a drink in the middle of
town
I climbed up to meet you
and you glided down
