letra de mag-lev train - izaak opatz

after all those meals i shared with just a magazine
egg yolk dripping off my chin, leaning over the sink
last night talking across a sawhorse table with you was a dream
for the first time in a long time, i knew just where to put my feet

you made marinated portobello mushrooms on the grill
and we just ate them off the tin foil
you made everything happen with an offhand grace
more midwest than california
we tuned into a honky-tonk show from your old hometown
and talked until the wine was gone and the candles burned out

we both liked the same pop-country songs
and taking long road trips on a whim
we went back and forth for over an hour
playing have you ever heard, have you ever been?
right off the bat, it was comfort and common ground
your breath tasted like water and your skin felt like a memory
usually, i find some reason to leave but everything kept feeling alright
i slept on a bed outside your window like a dog that night

we both liked the same pop-country songs
and taking long road trips on a whim
we went back and forth for over an hour
playing have you ever heard, have you ever been?

before i climbed in my car to drive back to the city, you gave me a sweetgrass braid
and a loose hoop of wire you’d been wearing around your wrist
i floated like a mag-lev train down your washboard road
thinking, oh, it must be good, a kind of thing that would start like this
