Ex​-​Blue Sky

from Reticent Alien by Justin Wiles

lyrics

The big idea has been the question for days
The girl just graces with ephemeral stays
She’s had me holding on for her line two
An iced expression worn discordant in spring
A bucking bullet aimed at everything
And everyone she never could talk to

She gave up...she gave up...she gave up
She gave up on giving up, on giving up

The biggest showboater’s asleep in the sea
A sot on shots and not enamored with me
The Four Non Blondes demanding answers too
She keeps close watch over the keys to her cell
And what she calls hectoring I call offering help
She sears in the sun and not a second too soon

She gave up...she gave up...she gave up
She gave up on giving up, on being generous

I wake up easy so my eyes can adjust
She’s stripping down into a vesture of lust
I’m madly attaching to her breasts like glue
She kisses searches for our fugitive souls
And breathes a sigh in a collision of holes
An ex-blue sky that you and I might move

She gave up...she gave up...she gave up
She gave up on giving up, on giving up
She gave up...she gave up...she gave up
She gave up on giving up, on being generous
