An extra road (Patreon)

Opened the drawer by the bed 

This morning looking for my head

Found a lone marble rolling around instead  

Some historic version of me that I kept 

I’ve been hoping to tell you about my dreams 

They are all I can see today 

Walking around with a TV screen 

Screwed into the mainframe

You know there is a window 

That opens to an extra road

I know you already found it

I see you there when I go, I see you  

Remember when you were

Eleven and I was five

Wide- eyed, I found 

The paintballs in your bedside

They were lined up in multicolored rows

 I’ll never forget how beautiful 

You told me they were gumballs 

And I bit down slow with my eyes closed 

You know there is a window

That opens to an extra road

I know you already found it

I see you there when I go, I see you

What is it about me that I can’t say

What I want or what I mean?

I can’t speak of what I’ve felt or seen

That’s the deal I guess I made to sing

You know there is a window

That opens to an extra road

I know you already found it

I see you there when I go

I see you there when I go

I see you there when I go  

I see you there when my eyes close
