Light Later Lately Lyrics by Maxwell Stern

Impossible Sum

2020

Not quite t-shirt weather, early April still teases a warmth
And then swaps it for a fickle chill
While the passengers on overcrowded subway cars confer
I count my steps from Catharine to Christian to Carpenter
There’s a string of backyard Christmas lights zip-tied to a chain-link fence
That serves as a stand-in for tonight’s new audience
So we cleaned up what we could and burnt the rest that night
Completing the circle, turning trash into new light
It’s staying light later lately
I was wondering if you’d come meet me
A thousand tire treads as tick marks read as minor misjudgments
Failing exit strategies
That combine with dust and dirt and worn-out rubber, paint and tar
To burn a path between my bedroom and the bar
It’s staying light later lately
I was wondering if you’d come meet me
It’s staying light later lately
I was wondering if you’d come meet me
And we soak in our solutions, bitter brown and clear
Mapping an outline of the undulating every-year
And I shudder to think what I’ve missed when I’ve been buried in a screen
Wondering who my eyes were supposed to meet
It’s staying light later lately
I was wondering if you’d come meet me
It’s staying light later lately
I was wondering if you’d come meet me
It’s staying light later lately
I was wondering if you’d come meet me
It’s staying light later lately
I was wondering if you’d come meet me
