30

Just let me go with you
I'll stay ten steps behind, I swear
You won't even hear me over the cars
And if we go to the country, I'll take off my shoes

Just let me go with you.
Because I didn't like it
When suddenly you had a beard,
a new shirt, a new reflection in your eyes

Just let me go with you.
I know you don't need me, but I don't need you either.
I just want to go for a walk
with the back of your new shirt
and watch that crease across your back fold a thousand times

Just let me go with you.
You don't have to turn around,
I'm telling you now, I'll still be there
outside the diner, when you watch the waitress walk away
and smile at your hands
