Doves from XX by Danger Painters

We had never been happier
Or farther apart
I ran away
While reaching back for you
Where did we go

That’s when you pass me
That’s when you praise me
For going the distance
All of the decades
Of tripping and falling
Of swimming and calling
On the telephone
Cuz that’s how long ago it was
It was

We never lost our manners
Even when we broke the bed
I got stuck in reverse
But I know how to fix it
I’ll tell you so you know

I’ll hold you above me always
While I live downstairs
I’ll meet you for coffee daily
Aren’t we a pair
Of intimate strangers
Blind to the whispers
Old and beautiful
Frayed by time
Devoted as doves

That’s when you kissed me
That’s when you saved me
We’re going the distance
Let’s pile on the decades
Let’s keep tripping and falling in love
Let’s keep swimming and calling in love
On the telephone
Cuz that’s how long ago
Yea that’s how long ago
We started
