The Echo or the Answer

Bad Teacher

The ocean is a bad teacher

on how you're supposed to

Love

But I still took after the open water

I push and pull crash and

receed

From eyes that ask too much

I forgot we were both in love

Once

We were never good at navigating

We flew in different

Directions

Our wings barely brushed

A touch of feathers was somehow

enough

I have a list

Of all I should have

Said

And I don't want it to get any longer

It's been so long since I gave my heart

Away

you were the last

I wish I could have loved you

Better

Castaway hearts are lonely things

Since you it doesn't break or

Beat

It stays adrift without me

I hope you've done well behind your

walls

The only place I couldn't cross

I think you and I should have learned to

Dance

So we would have known early on

That you don't know my

rhythm

And I could never keep the time
