We caught fireflies in the Tupperware Chatting them up before we let them go If I close my eyes I can see you there Telling all your fears to the lake And some days Some days Some days City noise gets to me She turned and said “we’re going to paint the kitchen red” Brighten up this house, one room at a time The sun poured in though old picture windows Draping the upright from Goodwill Watch me steal down the hallway A crash of waves rushes in Hold my hand like a memory Lift the latch and walk in I’ve been waiting to catch you at the screen door All my fears are shining on the lake If I close my eyes, I can see you there I let you go, that was my mistake
