home run


good morning and good night. i’m covering my bases

right now we’re trying to live our lives together,

though we’re located in different places

i’m filling up the pages. and i’m dreaming in my sleep.

i’m keeping you in mind and writing down my every line

until this journey is complete

this is all so sentimental. this is all so utterly surreal.

this country’s opening my eyes to mornings i never realized could be true


with horizons just past the windows, the sun keeps shining in my eyes

and the darkness keeps reminding me, "without me there is no light"

so baby, this desire is just a wave i’m using to get me through

until the next morning when i’m lying close, and waking next to you

your sun right now is rising, while mine has long been set

let me take this time, and i’ll tell you why

i’m saying good morning and goodnight.
