Partly Fiction
by Moss Palace

I’m sketching the shape of your face
And the light in your eyes
But my memory is partly fiction
Two truths and a lie

I’m trying to remember you
But it’s been so long
It’s funny what our minds make up
How much we get wrong

I think you look like my sister
Maybe I look like you
That’s the thing about family
Ties that we can’t undo

And the sad comes sideways
I try not to let on
He told me on Tuesday honey
That you were gone

(this is a list)
I want to watch the sunrise
Kiss somebody I love tonight
I want to heal from this fight
And believe it’s going to be alright
I want to breathe in the sky
Wash away my bitter spite
I want to hold my dreams tight
And believe, I believe it’s alright

(this is also a list)
All stealing time
Chasing the divine
Hearts on the line
A few beats behind
The same design
Steep uphill climb
A few beats behind
A few beats behind

All stealing time
Chasing the divine
Hearts on the line
A few beats behind
The same design
Steep uphill climb
A few beats behind
A few beats behind
