12. A White Boat

These words
lift up the whole world
off your shoulders
off your shoulders

This note
turns to a white boat
so you can sail the waves
you can sail the waves

And this line
gives you back the time
you spent with me
spent with me

And this piece
gets rid of gravity
so nothing pushes you down
or around

This verse
knows why you hurt
what you’re worth
and why your tired heart does not work

This chord
the one you can’t afford
takes this air from me
and fills your lungs so you breathe
