It looks like things are working out for you
you got your cotton dresses all picked out for summer
no matter if it rains 'cause you got your floral print umbrellas
It looks like things are finally treating you
the way you treat them, you angel you gem
you wanna watch movies together and plays and go traveling
but other things, you're so damn good at forgetting them

like the cake on amalia's lips back in mid-July
and the stalks of roses and the rubber bands
and the birds at the airport rushing over me
and running through the late night rain
that Jamaican place in Harlem that I'd never been
that sold some kind of juice that was supposed to be healing
and lying on the sloping grass staring at the undersides of leaves trailing in the wind
and aching to hold you again

It looks like things are working out for you
cause you're always talking about the future
no matter if it rains 'cause you got your sunny disposition
it looks like luck is finally treating you to your delicate plans you angel
you wanna hear music together and dance and eat out again
but other things you're so damn good at forgetting them

like the taste on your lips
could you hear the sound when I was thinking I was gonna drown
from regret like a river rushing over me
and running down to bae
and the morning when I saw that it was never gonna be the same
like a piece of wood held to a flame
and walking from my sister's house just a couple blocks from puget sound
and a thousand miles to say
i'm aching to hold you again
