Too [​[​hot outside​]​] for an audience, too bright to sleep

from In Youth by Caution Crow

/

lyrics

i cannot quite recall the way your hands would brace the corners of the bed
and touch the edges of my mind
or the way our ankles touched
like we were trying to make a fire with our bones
and if we left the window open for the breeze
or so everyone could see us

but i remember it was
hot outside
it was hot outside

i cannot quite perceive the mess we made
or who tore more holes in the other one’s brain
and how many people that we left, all broken and bloody
as we went along our merry way
the space between our bodies was pale like we were dead
we were cold under the covers

but it was
hot outside
it was hot outside

i cannot quite recall the sentences you whispered to the air
you were too quiet in the afternoon
it wasn’t dark enough to say anything important
so did you say anything at all?
in that moment, i can’t tell, you might have loved me, too

but i remember it was
hot outside
it was hot outside
it was hot outside
it was hot outside
