Kevin Devine - Billion BeesLyrics

i found you grieving in the grass sky blood water color blue you seem so simple sure and sad so I sat down to grieve with you you raised your hand to shield your eyes i shifted left to block the sun you crossed your legs and cleared your throat i waited for you words to come but they slept soundly in your chest they never made it past your tongue so we sat silently and still we thought about the things wed done and all the people that we loved and all the people that we wronged i watched the years flash through your face locked my anger in your lungs so every breath stung more and more a wave of wips across my spine a billion bees trapped in my chest nails on chalkboard every time til i watched your fingers sneak towards mine i heard your breath go thing and short i tucked your hair behind your ears and watched your eyes dart back and forth i sucked your lip and bit your neck the trees were shaking at their roots my angry arms fell cool and calm my cotton mouth was well with you so we lay glowing in the grass to watch the sun swamp with the moon trade our future for our past present tense was all we knew
