Aces

I feel your hand around mine and
See the light catch in the raindrops on your skin
I feel the wave rise up to my eyes
I close them tight to keep my own raindrops in

Out the side door and into my car
I'll drive until the houses turn into hills
I grip the wheel and scan the waveband
Just to keep these pictures from my mind like stills

You've no pictures on your wall
You've got aces at your feet
You've no pictures on your wall
You've got aces at your feet

I'm a disappointment your loss is poignant
When we were kids I never really thought about truth
Though I'm your daughter, you're just like water
You're all around me but I can't put my arms around you

You've no pictures on your wall
You've got aces at your feet
You've no pictures on your wall
You've got aces at your feet

I was a star exploding
You didn't even notice
I was like a ghost
I am a sinking boat
My thoughts are fucked and scattered
They run away in patterns
Lights dancing on the ceiling
I bow my head I find I'm kneeling
I bow my head I find I'm kneeling down

Out the side door and into my car
I'll drive until the houses turn into hills
