here again

I would do it all to be here again
the stars in fields and breath stone cold
showing itself, silent, strange and bold
with less clandestine mystery
than what was wrapped around you
despite all the things you told

you would do it all to be here again
the miles that were driven, wide and deep
the lines that were written, dark and steep
casting lines and anchors
sowing seeds
you’d always planned to reap

you know it’s a funny funny thing
how we can stand and look each other in the face
and what was there is gone
it’s only left a trace
of all the memories
that won’t
be replaced

we would do it all to be here again
now that we’ve grown, now that we’ve changed
the world looks different but we’re all the same
we still make mistakes
we still lay our claims
we fall back from where we came

would we do it all to be here again
