Bittersweet tea
Believe me
I've moved across innocence lost

What I'm living for now
Is the dream I often dream

Fuck, I can see it just as I fall asleep
Crystal clear on hands and knees I creep

My thoughts
Tired and naked

Worn down by day
Stripped bare by nostalgia and play

Love and friendship me
Is bittersweet tea

My arms are wide open
With my most sincere offering

An embrace
Spread across broad, humble shoulders

Still when a tear falls from my eye
It makes it even more real

It always rolls down my check
Slow slip inside my mouth

Salty desire
A taste intoxicating

Just like the kiss you never forget
The weak-kneed variety

Plucked from the shelf
Of intimate sobriety


Words behind the verse: fun, friendship, love and nostalgia
