Testo Light Breathing (Me And Martha Plimpton In A Fancy Elevator)

me and martha plimpton in an elevator

her golden labrador

kissed my index finger

two in the morning
summer saturated

i'd been drinking and

it'd been raining



and it felt so strange

cuz i didn't know what to say

and when she smiled i turned away


but that's so like me

timid self conscious crippling

she seemed so friendly and

i must've seemed uninteresting

soaked from walking and

smelled like boozed and cigarettes

i stood there listening

to hear light breathing



and i wanted to say

that i really loved her films

and i wanted to make her laugh

and smile but i stood still



i managed to mutter hello

her eyes shining in the fancy elevator lights

i stood awkwardly hands fluttering

the doors parted and she said goodnight to me



and her voice was like a song

tht wouldn't leave my head

and i thought martha i'm running on empty

and i couldn't help but think

i'd missed another chance to live

but isn't that the way it always is
