Chalk

Chalk me out and cut me down

And draw yourself the version you found

Before the moons had split our tides

Cast you on shore and me the other side

Now steal a book and make a note

And read aloud the first thing you wrote

Now tell me do your words sing or hiss

Of a love since grown or the one you miss?

‘Cause I love

I love

I love you still

With as much as I ever have

And as much as I ever will

Many moons have come and many moons have gone

And my bedsheets they get colder with every pass

When I feel I’ve overstayed my time I close my eyes and make you mine

Just because it’s good don’t make it last

Tell me where you’ve gone

Tell me what you’ve seen

Has the burden caused your soul to ache

Through distance does your heart remain with mine?

‘Cause I love

I love

I love you still

With as much as I ever have

And as much as I ever will

Chalk me out

Cut me down

Draw yourself the version you found
