Up Against The Bricks

"Like a burnished coin from childhood"
Like an unfinished rhyme, ohh
Like a fugitive who outruns her crime
Forever harboring an anxious mind
Settles down to a small town
Half-hoping to be found out
Now and again, reflects on when
Life pushed her from the precipice

Is it too much to ask for a moment that lasts for
Long enough to get it right? For you to keep me up all night?
Is it too late for dreaming? To go back to believing?
To push me up against the bricks, grab my skull and kiss my lips
Up against the bricks

Time
Time does it's thing
The world spins
We lead the charge
And then give in
Swallow the love
'fore it begins
Were we ever even dangerous?

Is it too much to ask for a moment that lasts for
Long enough to get it right? For you to keep me up all night?
Is it too late for dreaming? To go back to believing?
To push me up against the bricks, grab my skull and kiss my lips
Up against the bricks, up against the bricks, up against the bricks
