Sarah Sharp Time Capsule
I want to earn my way under your coversWaste a day in
the middle of summer
12th floor windows open from the ground
You could walk right out onto Manhattan
Like a carpet suspended by magic
The city whispers through flowing orange
Curtains give us permission
To sleep till 3 without the slightest notion
Relaxing with secluded abandon
Our time capsule is sealed on new discoveries
Early twenties
Learn to use our bodies
We take turns feeding each other
From a kitchen only fits one person at a time
It don't take much to keep it clean
We have the only two keys
To our fireproof triple locked door
It's everything we want and more
Sometimes it's like a human sauna
Sweat soaked hair and skin become way of life
We thank sweet Jesus and Oh God himself
Our time capsule is sealed on new discoveries
Early twenties
Learn to use our bodies
Our pact is made with kisses that linger
We hear the phone go
And turn off the ringer
And let the bath run
And let the candles drip
And let our bodies slip
And let the wind blow
And let the city scream below
Holding you all night
Letting the morning dream
Letting you run your hand
A promise land
