wrong side

fall of the light through the ceiling fan, tryna catch it with your hand, your fingers slip if the timing's bad, we never knew how little time we had, paint the haze on all the years, all your hopes and all your fears, all the silly lies for love, and you forget just what the reason was, it was just like you promised, we were better off in time, your memory is softer round the eyes, and i'm mostly being honest, when i tell you that i'm fine, until i wake up in the middle of the night, on the wrong side, fool me once, fool me twice, fuck it, fool me a thousand times, 'cause you still look like silver and gold, though that photograph is four years old, i come back to it all the time, when we found what we were trying to find, with no one else out on the beach, for a moment there we had our peace, it was just like you promised, we were better off in time, your memory is softer round the eyes, and i'm mostly being honest, when i tell you that i'm fine, until i wake up in the middle of the night, on the wrong side
