Do You Remember?

Do you remember the summer

that I always sat on your lap,

so spun and laughing so hard

I guess we fell in love way too fast. 

You lit us both a cigarette

and I saw your eyes flicker

as were sweating in the heat. 

When your pupils were like pins

they were so beautiful to me.

Every time that your eyes met mine

the whole world just stood still. 

We stopped chasing those dragons 

and then September brought chills,

But I only knew how to love you

whenever we were running and hiding

and if both of our lips were moving

Then people knew that we were lying. 

Except all of those times when you 

would put your lips so gently on me

But I knew that you were not lying

because those times were my dreams. 

We gave each other the needle and 

then eventually it put us both to sleep

But before it could kill both of us

I guess we killed off each of our dreams. 

That is when we decided to start 

telling people that we were clean,

But then I started waking up all alone

and it honestly just killed me.

I remember missing summer whenever

it would still be in full swing

It felt gone just as it was happening

because we were both slowly dying. 

That is why I always held you so tight

with my arms wrapped around your neck

I could feel the rhythm of your heartbeat

like it could nearly beat out of your chest

Our love was built off of traveling time 

and every flick and sizzle, I guess, 

was our very own speed of light. 

But when the fire eventually stopped burning

it only left us both feeling empty inside. 

So, we decided to try to plant a garden in ashes

but it just would not grow at that time. 

We loved in illusions and I suppose that 

we both just expected it to somehow survive

and in the end our love only left each other

feeling broken-hearted and just wanting to die. 

We gave each other the needle and

then eventually it put us both to sleep

I believed in running the streets and the dope

while you were sitting at home, just believing in ME. 

Dreams were a reality when you were right next to me. 

but ever since I have been awake, I guess that 

I just do not know what I should really believe. 

We gave each other the needle and 

it eventually put us right to sleep. 

Perhaps nothing is a lie,

if those lies are our dreams

and maybe nothing is an illusion

if we are always asleep. 

So since I have been without you

I just do not know what to believe. 

I do not think that I would have gone crazy

if you would have just stayed with me

and maybe I would not feel so lost

if I still lived in that wonderful dream.
