So how long since she
Managed not to break your nose
And how short until
That day is long ago
I took the stairs up while
You waited for the elevator
To come down
Could you please calm down
And how long since she
Dropped no coins on
A kitchen table
Some water was boiling
You took the long way through
The bathroom door
I stood there on a window sill
Trying not to look down
Could you please keep still
So how close to the
Orange suburban skies
And how far from her
Pulse running out of time
You stayed in the refrigerator
Without a survival kit
I focused on the map to get where
They are selling sleeping bags
Could you please stand in line
Could you stand in line
Could you please stand in line
Could you please
Could you
