there, there
And all of you so beautifulI want to bring you home with meto sit close on the couch.My invitation inserted in six billion bottles,corked with bark from the final forestand dropped in the ocean of my longing.We would speak the language of no words,pass the jug of our drunken joyat being babies growing into death.Sometimes, I know, life is stupid, pointless,beside the point, but here's the point —maybe we would fallin love, settle down together,share the wine, the bills,the last of the oxygen and the remote.

And all of you so beautiful
I want to bring you home with me
to sit close on the couch.
My invitation inserted in six billion bottles,
corked with bark from the final forest
and dropped in the ocean of my longing.
We would speak the language of no words,
pass the jug of our drunken joy
at being babies growing into death.
Sometimes, I know, life is stupid, pointless,
beside the point, but here's the point —
maybe we would fall
in love, settle down together,
share the wine, the bills,
the last of the oxygen and the remote.
