Worthwhile

You fell asleep your body strewn across mine
I lay awake the city humming round me
I wanna keep these memories tucked inside me
Like winter acorns hidden in a pine tree
The word for touch taught a diner napkin
The site of crooked teeth that make the perfect smile
Oh when you go I’ll have these little bits of you
A love not meant to last is still a love worthwhile
Up on a street where dreamers dream of waking
We slept and I was dreaming we were sleeping
Our fingers reached oceans outside our window
Water was warm and nobody was leaving
But when we wake to find the waves between us
I hope you’ll picture me with blue eyes bright and dry
Spaghetti limbs at peace on your side of the bed
A love not meant to last is still a love worthwhile
I have a spot that’s way down deep
For things that I don’t get to keep
I’m drifting off before the movie’s over
A tired balloon deflated on your shoulder
I hope you keep these feelings wrapped around you
Like winter layers to warm you when it’s colder
A set of hands that tried to memorize you
A pair of lungs that tried to breathe you for awhile
Mi corazon se estrella con tu corazon
A love not meant to last is still a love worthwhile
Well I’ll be waving with a smile
A love not meant to last is still a love worthwhile
