Clear

Looking at it now

It all seems so simple

We were lying on your couch

I remember

You took a Polaroid of us

Then discovered

The rest of the world was black and white

But we were in screaming color

And I remember thinking…

Are we out of the woods yet?

Are we out of the woods?

Are we in the clear yet?

In the clear yet, good.

Last December, we were built to fall apart

Then fall back together

Your necklace hanging from my neck

The night we couldn’t quite forget

When we decided

To move the furniture so we could dance

Baby, like we stood a chance

Two paper airplanes flying, flying…

And I remember thinking

Remember when you hit the brakes too soon

Twenty stitches in a hospital room

When you started crying

Baby, I did too

But when the sun came up

I was looking at you

Remember when we couldn’t take the heat

I walked out, I said “I’m setting you free”

But the monsters turned out to be just trees

When the sun came up

You were looking at me.

You were looking at me… Oh

I remember.

Oh, I remember..
