Bolts

There's more than miles of distance between us
And it takes less than an inch given for this to bust
(it takes trust)

a beauty bolted out from the ground
and my first idea was to bolt it down

it needed water so i brought some down
i knew moderation but it felt nice to drown

she plucked it clean and i scolded her,
because being heartfelt just emboldened her

because silky skin isn't the same within,
her sandpaper is what made it through thick and thin

i watched her fall with my heart in hand,
now i stay here with no place to land

because sometimes you need to settle in,
and get to know the person you aren't with

i saw the rose i wanted to bolt down to my heart,
but the rose needed a new branch to start

i don't care to learn what I could have been with you,
i'm not interested in what i can see right through

i guess it feels nice to say adieu,
i couldn't say the same about knowing you
