The shuffle of a page turn
All the things we’ve come to learn
Some worth keeping some to burn
It’s all worth living
It's kindle for a hot fire
Useless as a joke prior
To the fumbled punchline
A meaningful mention
But…
I tip my hat to you
First line of chapter two
January
Nice to meet you
Nice to meet you
One as sweet as you
To tug and make me move
Like only time should do
Like only gravity does
You’re the center of my orbiting
Never saw ya coming,
never been so struck by a morning
before the sun even rose.
I tip my hat to you
First line of chapter two
January
Nice to meet you
Forgive my attitude
We weren’t expecting to you
January
Can’t wait to see you
Your timing as good
as a vine how you
unwind us both
with your silver lining
I can’t combine the words
You'll be bringing us
You're now the ink to chapters
Three, four, and five
January
I’ll be the canary
When it’s time for you to save yourself
However scary
There I will be
To shield you from the lack of light
I tip my hat to you
First line of chapter two
January
Nice to meet you
Forgive my attitude
We weren’t expecting to you
January
Can’t wait to see you
Can’t wait to see you
