As kisses go It wasn't anything out of the ordinary The alkaline lips The fingers hooked around my belt She had to go She took a step back in and then she started to smile I heard a funny sound Then everything seemed to shift, yeah A crazy wail A funny shutter of a bad magnetic event A ghost ran through us Moving like a shadow of a cloud And I wasn't sure I thought that something happened but I didn't know what The moment seemed to fade And I turned my eyes back to her That's when I saw I freeze the look of pre-alert and study it still Her smile starts to loosen Her pupils yawn wide and then she's blown From the face of the earth There wasn't any wind No noise, no nothing Just a body jerked skyward Limbs flailing like an unloved marionette At impossible speed Receding away like a faraway dot I can see her still Scream for help but no one answered She turned end on end Moving like a long-lost astronaut I felt the summer air reclaim me The chirp of a bird, the whisper of leaves And I was frozen To the face of the earth I never really knew the way she lived her life I tried a couple numbers but they never called back I didn't know her family or friends at all With no one to call, summer turned into fall I gave up It's been a couple years And I guess I'm fine about it It's not like we were married It was three or four months And nothing's really different Though it seems like I've spent my life in planes Which is kind of strange But I don't know I don't know, no No, no, no, no, no No, no, no, no, no, no, no
