Sometimes I wish you would just appear before me on the street, like a ghost in the dust, coming up out the sidewalk, waiting for me. My stomach’s tied in knots, I swallowed snakes before I came here today. And I just want to know the stakes of loving this way. If the sun shines through the window, I’ll let you go. If you really want to go, I’ll let you go. But you should know, I believe in a love that faltered years ago. I carry it up my sleeve, waiting for the time to watch it blow away. You should know that the window’s always clear here in Los Angeles, and still I don’t see all the places you go. When you’re near me, I can only guess. If the sun shines through the window, I’ll let you go. If you really want to go, I’ll let you go. If you really want to go, I’ll let you go. If you really want to go…
