Youme & Meyou
They build a ship each wintertimefor launch to sea before the storm
They don't just go from A to Bthey go around and come around again
'cause out there's always a construction sitea Starbucks andyet another Gugenheim
Youme knows what Meyou wantsMeyou knows what Youme wantsand it's granted
No more tassels on the hotel keya phone line, a laptopand a box of tangerines
They turn houses into homeswhere earthquakes live with car alarmsmature mild-mannered catastrophes
They gift each other a thousand namesand take them off, take them off againlike excessive jewelry
Youme knows what Meyou wantsMeyou knows what Youme wantsand it's granted
They defend each other against the pastif the future isn't bright at least it's colorfulso burn the ship come spring
They fail, fail and try againfall off a cliff, succeed, and fall, fall again
They have proven quite effectivelythat bumblebees indeed can flyagainst the field's authority
They invent each other ever anewstill they won't have a different viewof everyone or anything
Defend themselves against the whims of fatequestion the statistics, acceleratethe status quo, deny the rules of gravity
But they don't use the wordonce dropped it might break
They do not say that they have lovedfor who can sayWe were killed yesterday
Youme knows what Meyou wantsMeyou knows what Youme wantsand it's granted
