The Same

The Same
When you came here, I saw you
When I saw you, I knew you
When I knew you, I hunched up
Turned you away
I have a friend, who takes my hand
Shows me new consciousness, understands
That the risks obscure, are plainer to see
Than the risks you get from me
Hanging out, it never quite seems the same
For real, it washes in the rain
Hang it out, hang it out sometime
It’s never the same
I have a tendency to take what I find
Show my awareness, not feel blind
That the risks obscure, are plainer to see
Than the love, you get from me
