That special pendent the one you keep around your neck
Consider the connection of it how the brace closes
Not trying to convince you of anything
You lost the habit of rubbing the cusp
The tenderness I can never feel
More aware of my teeth
You there turning shoulders and arms round and back
Feeling the air pass through your fingers
then the years
Feeling those decisions being made for you
To build someone elses story
To adorn someone else's shrine
Here you are grown and staring out of some window
Funny how the scenery of today
Should be the sum total of your past efforts
But i saw you dance
I saw you convince so many of us
When we ourselve doubted life itself
You reach for the pendant
wrapped around your neck
memories flow like the way you saw the world in your mind
A tear forms as the scenery doesn't reflect it all
All the promises made from mouths engineered for favorable terms
Never tasted truth or let it interfere in the cunning of the tongue
So when the wind blows and your heart remains empty
Pull out that pendant clean it with your finger
Security got you so far
sworn to elevate the status wine dine and fine tune it up
Somehow you seem isolated these days
none of these promises and shiny treats
Will you look up at me the way you used to
when you knew the world inside out
And I was the naiive second choice
Your grin exposed the multitude of things I had no idea were happening
security got you far
The man who won you over offering a mile on my meter
Who could steal your attention sweep your off your feet
small towns and mind stuck realities
Keep the pendant close to that heart
The one he thinks he gave you
