Sunlight Through a Straw

Images of skinny pale skin on the pavement
Please just last a while
The images are in my head
But this doesn't make them any less real
And I love you so, like no one else does
'Cause no one else knows
I'll give you

Sunlight through a straw
Tips of wonder as you
Fall right to the floor
Oh, what have you become?

So does anyone I know own this river?
I'd like to keep a hold
Fold up the moments like paper
Then we'd never lose
I'd pull them out as a reminder
That you'll be okay
I'll give you

Sunlight through a straw
Tips of wonder as you fall right to the floor
Oh, what has become of our
Sunlight through a straw
Fix the cracks oh in these
Memories erasing
Oh, what have you become?

Time will tell us when
Life will start again
I will make amends
There will be no end
