Pass Lyrics by Ember Swift

InsectInside

0

I saw her
I was sitting in a tavern front window
And I wished I could pass between the glass

She wore a lime-green-faux-fur hipcoat and tight red pants
And I saw her walking there
Head down against the crowd of noon-time laughter
Eyes bright, alert to sounds of footfall, faster, around her
But my stare, my stare stopped her
And I wished I could pass between the glass

She looked so familiar
I have known her before
She looked so familiar
I know I have seen her before

My stare stopped her
And I wished I could pass between the glass
She had a businessman’s briefcase nearly up her ass
She broke the pace of the footfall highway, that sidewalk race
She was cursed at, pushed sideways
But, our eyes were locked in a frozen frame of time and space
A distant recollection peered through me from her face
And we both felt sure that moment passed us by
And she decided to walk on and was gone
And I wished I could pass between the glass

She looked so familiar
I have seen her, I have seen her
I have known her before

So I saw her and wished I could pass between the glass
But, isn’t that always the way?
The moment is there and it’s great and then it’s gone away
Before you can even consider what to do… deja-fucking-vu
But, I will look for her or that moment in another
When distance floats into focus
And that whisper of subconscious mind
But, I will catch it next time
I will hold it, hold it, hold it
Just like that sublime poetry that always stays with me

She wore a lime-green- faux-fur hipcoat and tight red pants
She wore a lime-green- faux-fur hipcoat and tight red pants
And I saw her, in a momentary glance
And I wished I could pass between the glass
