A Single Explosion - Matthew Good

I dreamt last night of sirens

By flashlight I had found you

You just held my hand

By the bright lights in some ICU

Even the planless have a plan

I can’t write love songs when I’m on these things

I’m affable, responsible, but hard to be around

It’s correctible and they’re right you know

It’s as easy as it sounds

It’s all as easy as it sounds

I dreamt last night I saw you

A single spark explosion negotiating with the dead

By the bright lights in some ICU

On my chest you put your head

And said…

There you are

There you are

There’s my heart
