I Can Be

I can be your Christmas table perfectly set
Or the green wine bottle that condenses wet
Sitting in my finest suit awaiting your arrival
Like a perfect gentlemen

I'll be your backyard deck
That's bolted to the crumbling brick
Where you go and sit
In the evening on summer days

I'll be the angel wings
That save you if you start drowning
In an open tab
When your judgments on the brink

I'll be your favorite stereo that
Plays your favorite albums back
As you're laying there
Drifting sweetly off to sleep

I'll be your high heeled shoes
And undo what genetics have done to you
So you'll never have to stretch
Just to look into my eyes

I will be the scarf around your throat
Or better yet your winter coat
With your hood keeping you warm
So you won't catch cold

I've always wanted to take you far away
From all the shackles of this town
And kiss you warmly on the mouth
Where we can be free
From the towns sinking feeling
A fresh start for you and me

Everything will change
We'll gladly shout our names
The sun will heat the ground
Underneath our naked feet
Just for you and me
