we dropped eyes
Dropped food
5-second rule
Us fools,
Never holding hands
Or holding on
For more
than a couple of hours.
Sweet and sour
Isn't it
Every time we meet?
Even when we reek
Of all the wonderful,
distant things
We seek
And then run away,
Don't we?
And it's crazy
And crazier still
Am I
Cause I never learned
To keep anything,
But souvenirs
Of days and men gone by
And days and men gone by
Have a way of coming back
And I never, ever know
What to pick up
And which stones to throw away.
We're driving too fast
To choose which days to give away.
Odd days or even?
Coffee shops
And elusive parking spots
Blinding signs and traffic lights
All your fingers burning bright
 
Who knows what to pick up
And when
Before it all goes stale?
Has the 5-second rule
Stood the test of human tales?
Or is it 5 days?
5 weeks?
5 years?
Is there a 5-year rule?
Us fools,
Pressed for time
Trust me,
We will believe
In
Anything
