Maybe Another Time

The sunlight stabs my eyes There's birds perching on the powerlines I wonder if you woke in someone's arms And if you'd ever consider mine The swaying shades of acacias In flower arrangements suggest That it's time for me to be a man Or else with what regrets Would I be left to live forever The sky hangs undisturbed like a static pond Oh world, may you be preserved just as you are when I return The scent of evening air is cinnamon sweet here But it's lost on my lungs breathing in The sunlight stabs my eyes (It stabs my eyes) There's ferns running up the traffic signs outside (Outside) I tell the ether all of my desires and she says “Maybe another time”
