we used to act like we were ten years old nsittin’ on rooftops in the morning cold nand we pointed at the city, nthough we'd never be so bold nand all i needed was a hand to hold. nit's a somewhat addictive state of mind nto always be hoping for another glimpse inside nand even though i know you're telling everybody else ni can still think that i heard it first. nnbecause i need a friend and i can pretend nthat you might need one too. nbecause i've done too much traveling alone nand i'm too goddamn far from home. nI think I'm mostly flesh. i think you're mostly bone. ni am made of fire; you're made of stone. nni thought you might be my someone in the sand. ni thought i might be something you needed nlike a good friend. nbut you can keep your distance, ni guess i'll understand. nno one really wants a fire on their hands. nnso let's climb the flagpole! nsee how high we get before we fall. nlet's meet in the bell tower. nif we can ever get up there at all. nand we can watch the gears turn. nbecause a stone will crack before it burns. nstill a fire never learns.
