Gemini - Sharpless

I was born in a chinatown slum

With a vision that i followed and a story to become

And as i grew i felt i ran out of ink

I felt the parchment rice paper start to shrink and shrink

And i met a boy a little taller than me

And when i asked him about these questions

He said he saw plenty

Reflected in his eyes

Just as he said

Was the daydream colored sunset

That i never had

But that sunset

Never left your mindset

Even through

All your coldest regrets

Oh why do you try

Because he taught me

More than any school could

Always said if you can than you should

Oh why do you try

And as my height came closer to his

As my hands started rubbing my crusted eyelids

All of a sudden all the pixels grew

All arithmetic i thought i knew

But it seems the more that life pushed us together

The more we felt finger trapped and tethered

Like a million days shot through the sky

Couldn’t pull the night down from way up high

But this song is getting sentimental

Turning loved ones ornamental

Oh why do you try

Because he taught me

More than any school could

Always said if you can than you should

Oh why do you try

All the smoking breaks

Empty pizza plates

Long walks long talks

When we stayed up late

All the times on the phone

Leading to train rides home

All the fussin and the cussin

When we felt alone and said

«You would always tell me

That i love you baby

Separate we’re changin'

But together we’re amazin'

Now as re-incarnate

We ain’t even talkin'

You just keep me starin'

And i just keep walkin'»

It’s too late for me

(to come to terms with all i ever wanted

Lesson learned but i just forgot)

I’m scared i’m starting to feel normal

I’m scared i’m starting to feel older

I’m scared i don’t know what to do

Sit in here till people think i’m cool

And i’ve found that time gets longer

As our eyes get as wide as our shoulders

Why

And that’s why

That i try
