lyrics

Yes I remember
the pact we made
Back in 2008
Yes I remember
On that Leap Day
Wishes shimmered like coins

And it was cold out
But it was not too cold to swim
And I was in over my head
But I did not have to pretend

On a rooftop in Bushwick at 5am
I couldn’t look at you
Without almost leaning in
And if we’d been alone
I’d have had no control
but if we’d never met up
How would I have ever known

At dawn we hailed a cab
To take us back
To where the van was parked
I turned to Max
Whose face was weary
In the fading Brooklyn dark

And as the city woke up
Something buried spoke up
I am still in love with that woman
Why does that make me feel so lost?
Why do I feel so lost?
Why do I feel so lost?

This year on Leap Day
Seven years later
I think I might go for a swim
I hope it’s cold out
I hope it’s empty
I hope I have accompaniment
In the shape of a friend
That shimmers like a wish in wind
I won’t ever not love you
But you can’t be the one I’m with
