I want to call a request through heating vents And hear them answered with a whispered no To crack the code of muscles slack and tense Let every second step in boots on snow Complete your name with accents I can't place That stumble where the syllables combine Take depositions from a strangers face Paint every insignificance a sign So tell me nothing matters less or more Say whatever we think actions are We'll never know what anything was for If near is just as far away as far And I'm permitted one act I can save I choose to sit here next to you and wave
