Big City Lights

Big City Lights
Summer Nights
Long Rides Home

You lived so far away
Came in for the day
The days turned into

Nights spent smirking
Nights spent flirting
Doing things,

That you weren’t supposed to,
OI — COME HERE YOU
Run now -

Remember the time -
Vodka lemo and lime
Standing in line

For a beating
Clandestine meeting
Not even your fight

That was the last
It’s in the past
But you can’t

Help but remember how,
Push it from your mind, NOW
How he looked

On the floor there
A nightmare
Blood pooling behind

Big city lights
One too many nights
Spent awake

Wondering when,
Wondering if,
It’ll all catch up to you.
