Around You

Underage on the pavement
 Streetlight as spotlight
 Silent block, sidewalk seat
 Pulling, picking weeds
 Tell me all of it
 You downplay the weight
 By talking quick
 While I braid your hair with my hands
 Everywhere I look
 There is a river
 Notebook float that I live on
 We gawk and laugh
 Our tricks are the same color
 Through the blue glass
 The light just wants to hang around you
 Time capsules already sorted through
 And in the girls room, hip to hip
 A circle of "I admit I..."
 I just want to hang around you
 Do
 Do
 Do
 Do
 Do you?
 Do
 Do
 Do
 Do
 Do you?
 Left off our names
 Hid one in the toilet stall
 Sprinkled a few in the hall
 Stole the book about
 Your favorite band
 By throwing it out of the
 School library's window
 Said you got a ticket
 From speeding to see me
 That whole summer we wrote letters like
 Anaïs and Henry
 You left some things unsaid
 And I liked you more for that
 And in the girls room, hip to hip
 A circle of "I admit I..."
 I just want to hang around you
 Do
 Do
 Do
 Do
 Do you?
 Do
 Do
 Do
 Do
 Do you?
 Do
 Do
 Do
 Do
 Do you?
 Do
 Do
 Do
 Do
 Do you?
