This song reminds me of chilly, high school nights on my twin-sized bed. Hands clenched tightly, lips locked, legs entangled, hearts beating rapidly and the brightest of stars glowing through the bedroom window. Love was as real as it could get and his smile, his touch and the sound of his breath was the only thing I needed to get by.

You always used to always tell me:

"Everyday seems like a dream."

"And she combed your hair, and she kissed your teeth
And she made you better than you'd been before
She told you bad things you wished you could change in the lazy summer
And she told you, laughing down to her core, so she would not cry as she lay in your lap. She said "nobody here can live forever, quiet in the grasp of dusk and summer"

She said, "no one is alone the way you are alone"
And you held her looser than you would have if you ever could have known.

Some things tie your life together, slender threads and things to treasure...
Days like that should last and last and last..."
