lyrics
Casually tangled friends One day children of digital age Then, by choice, old fashioned letters And it’s all for simple causes So that we can feel much closer Even though the distance stays
So together we grew older And our paths, once crossed, are colder Moving on separately, best friends figuratively Yet somehow our hands are warmer And our thoughts are now way sharper And we see each other tentatively
It’s not that I couldn’t find that padlock in my pocket It was just a heartlock, heart locked On that bridge with words unspoken Right morals, wrong time, wondering if you’d discover The choice that I had made that evening It’s still out there in that garden
A steel bridge between two arms That are strong but so apart Yet closer for just a single day After all this time I wonder If against my better judgment What I didn’t do was just a sweet mistake
Some believe that it all started Long time ago in a garden, But my garden’s in the city where we met On green rooftop in the sunlight We were talking without shame Thinking about all upcoming years
It’s not that I couldn’t find that padlock in my pocket It was just a heartlock, heart locked On that bridge with words unspoken Right morals, wrong time, wondering if you’d discover The choice that I had made that evening It’s still out there in that garden
Somehow we’re both still here Sending tiny smiles now and then Just like last time that we met Two married people, two lives between them
And you still have no shame Laughing at the jokes from shared memories I’m so glad that you’re okay and you don't have to worry
It’s not that I couldn’t find that padlock in my pocket It was just a heartlock, heart locked On that bridge with words unspoken Right morals, wrong time, wondering if you’d discover The choice that I had made that evening It’s still out there in that garden
My sweet casually tangled friend On a bridge that steel beams held Shared past could’ve been something else If the rules I set myself had been less firm
I’m making the same choice again Not for rules, but for the different lives we've made
