Instead Of Beauty, Branding Lyrics by After the Sirens

What I Have to Give, Let It Be Enough

0

I meant to see you one more time
In that white dress splashed with brine
From the northern coast
Where we learned our lessons the first time
A line assigned to paper
Maybe lines under the eyes
We meant to write each other
But it never quite worked out right
Your eyes were light when there was no light
The cans are scuttling;
The end of summer brings an allergy to common things
And you could be on an eastbound train in half a day
But I wouldn't meet you
Except on paper and maybe film
This is not sentiment
I will not settle this
This is not pining, Esther, this is crime!
There are clouds coming in with the tide
And I don't blame you but I can't see why
You'd leave me here in this beautiful place
Waiting for beauty
