She's Not There (Here)

about

Written by Charlie Loudin

lyrics

it won’t always be like this
jump some years in some direction
connecting stars and keys
she hits those chords and the piano purrs
the moment hangs there
in the fragrant mid-air
want that moment, this moment, this is where
I just want to be free
I just want to be here (there)
won’t let the ratio of blood singing to sleepy eyes
discourage knowing what’s real, just orbited away
it won’t always be like that

last night, we slept on the back of a lion running
tonight, we’re in tall grass in separate fields
plants still sway at the edge of our seeing
but we hear one heart and not three
(the feeling that’s felt’s felt slowly)

all those boys with their beautiful hair
strum guitars and build fires
to connect darknesses in the wind
they’re calling out in some direction
with drums and gales and strong chests and songs and phones

all those girls with their books and records
songs and seasons and memories
stories, stereoscopic, repetition
and now to wonder how to touch and live whatever it is
and not just write poetry and songs about it
whatever it is

tonight, I want to sleep inside a piano
feel your muscles under your skin
hold my ear against your chest
close my eyes and hear a lion again
run fingers and tongue along the high strings
chromatic scales and feathers
the good and sweet things resonate
the forest finds a way inside here
it will always be like this

my favorite girl has fox-ears
and my favorite girl flies barefoot
my favorite girl knows me as well as herself
and my favorite girl dreams of songs by rivers at night
my favorite favorite girl’s not there (here)

all my friends painting words and candles
and stars on the ceilings of places
they’ll only live and glow in for a couple of years
do they wonder how to touch and live whatever it is
or just sing poetry and songs about it?

it won’t always be like this
plants still sway
