The Melody of an Ambulance

I know I’m still young
I’m still stupid
I still have a lot to learn
But I’m just so tired of the up and down,
back and forth,
searching,
yearning,
aching,
WAITING
i just want to settle down
in a much prettier town
up north where it doesn’t get so hot
with my favorite people
and write until my hands fall off
or, at least, until they’re thoroughly sore
and make love in the evenings
and sit out on the porch
and watch the stars come out
then sleep next to you
hold you
all night
then wake up in the morning
and enjoy a brand new day

i am in love
and i am tired
marry me, nate brune
