Tony Dork

I met you when you were young and ordinary
Every doubt had an answer
We’d Retreat From The Sun when life was scary
Even still, we were dancers

I keep on flipping it over
There’s always one more side that I can’t see
I lay my head on your shoulder
So you can sing from the wounds
Where they cut you deep
Don’t let this become ordinary

Trying to sing along
My tongue gets heavy
Dredging words half remembered
Not every syllable’s wrong
Just slow and heavy
It’s too warm for December

I keep on flipping it over
There’s always one more side that I can’t see
I lay my head on your shoulder
So you can sing from the wounds
Where they cut you deep
Don’t let this become ordinary

The heat is rising, malaise decending
The song is over but I’m still spinning
Losing my foothold
The floor is bending
I count the ripples
That crash beneath my feet

I keep on flipping it over
There’s always one more side that I can’t see
I lay my head on your shoulder
So you can sing from the wounds
Where they cut you deep
Don’t let this become ordinary
I'm not as strong as I'm supposed to be
