Nice and Blue - MewithoutYou

You were a song that i couldn't sing,
you were a story I couldn't tell.
I've only ever loved myself,
but i loved myself so well.
And how defeated I return!
You're nice and blue, you're nice and blue
I missed what i was supposed to learn,
as all I learned about was missing you.

A life left half behind, though no longer blind I can't yet see. I'm not the boy that I once was, but I"m not the man I'll be!
I've been waiting now for six years on
and I've only just begun
For the day you'll hold her in her arms' oh, risen Lord, my precious on.

I was once a wine and you the wineglass.
I was once alive when you held me.
God became the glass,
all things left were emptiness, Oh my little girl,
if you look out and see a trace of dark red that used to be my face, in the clarity of His grace, remember me.

mewithoutYOU - In a Sweater Poorly Knit

In a sweater poorly knit, and an unsuspecting smile
Little Moses drifts downstream in the Nile
A fumbling reply -- an awkward, rigid laugh
I'm carried helpless by my floating basket raft

Your flavor in my mind swings back and forth between sweeter than any wine, and bitter as mustard greens
Light and dark as honeydew and pumpernickle bread

The trap I set for YOU seems to have caught my leg instead

As YOU plow some other field and try and forget my name, see what harvest yields, and, supposing I'd do the same
I planted rows of peas, but by the first week of july -- they should have come up to my knees but they were maybe ankle high

Take the fingers from your flute to weave your colored yarns, and boil down your fruit to preserves in mason jars

But now books are overdue and the goats are underfed...

the trap I set for YOU seems to have caught my leg instead

You're a door-without-a-key, a field-without-a-fence
YOU made a holy fool of me, and I've thanked you ever since
If she comes circling back, we'll end where we'd begun
Like two pennies on the train track the train crushed into one

Or if I'm a crown without a king, if I'm a broken, open seed
If I come without a thing, I come with all I need
No boat out in the blue, no place to rest your head
The trap I set for YOU seems to have caught my leg instead



I
do
not
exist
only
YOU
exist
