Square

Your room was square

I once noticed from there

In your bed, as you slept

And I held my breath

Everything had its own place

And I wondered what space would I take

In the order you kept

I tried to eat like your girlfriend

Just tea in the night, I'd end up

Too hungry to sleep

So lying awake

I would follow the aching inside

I would find

It's for you won't be mine

I tried my hardest, for I'd never learned

God's very simple and love shouldn't burn

And I would've offered you all that you yearned for

But I was still waiting for something to earn

What is that quiet of snow in the night?

The dark rings with white noise as you stand and drown

Maybe it's all of these snowflakes

Screaming a choir of mute

As they brace for the ground

Well, that's my ride

Hope you had a good night

You know, you made me happy

Here, shake my hand

You make such a good man

Never once did you know me

I tried my hardest, for how do you learn

God's very simple and love doesn't burn

And maybe you'd offered me all that I yearned for

But I was still waiting for something to earn

Silly me, waiting
