Formal Other
This year was a shorter one, all the wired summer curls were washed out with a gray
And all the western hemisphere has shifted its gaze again
You missed the winter's quiet, couldn't quiet springs refrain
You can feel it in the air
Isn't it alarming?
When the colors all surround you
Wonder how I found you
Be my formal other
And this yard is over run, I'm tired of daffodils passing in disguise
It was okay to lie here
Knowing "what is it clear to me", well, how unwise to think that
I could not believe the roses in your teeth
All the butterflies released
In my stomach at the touch of you
Keep me up for nights on end I will try to pretend
That its us you really want lets make it normal
As formal others
Isn't it alarming
When the colors all surround you
Wonder how I found you
Be my formal other
