i am the last one at the party fixing the lights the cold got into the bones of the house the dog still waits by the door at six the wallpaper remembers the wrong colors
winter came in through the window we never fixed the mirror learned my face by accident the church bell is just a bell on tuesdays summer left its fingerprints on the glass

the dog still waits by the door at six i am practicing being the kind of quiet you can stand i still set the table for the ghost of us the dog still waits by the door at six
we are all somebody else's weather we made a home out of almost
