(4,955 feet above sea level and falling)

there in your darkened bedroom
this night
for the first time
we did everything but
say the words
destroy the worlds
we came from
and knew we'd have to
go back to

looking into your eyes
at first i was alarmed
at the longing i thought
i saw
just when i was almost getting
used to
be being alone
but i told you
(and meant the words)
that you felt like home

it's funny how
this place looks different
every time i drive back
across the river
at night
from another apartment
another girl
another new beginning
that rarely
turns out
to be either
so i refuse to believe in
anything anymore
until it's breaking down
my door
like the cops finding
another meth lab
in this ambiguous desert city
long after midnight
on a night like this
