Gasoline

Buck Meek

Making words up while we made love

One month and she's in my blood

Ooheeah lalo, faroosee mneykro

Will it be me or will it be her

To say I love you first?

 

Built a fire with oak, and juniper, and cypress

Gasoline, I knew she’d like it

She drew Orion on my belly with her finger

Then I asked if I could kiss her

 

Making words up while we made love

One month and she's in my blood

Ooheeah lalo, faroosee mneykro

Will it be me or will it be her

To say I love you first?

 

We lay in silence through the morning

Until language slowly started forming

She hummed a lullaby

I recognized from when I was a newborn

 

Making words up while we made love

One month and she's in my blood

Ooheeah lalo, faroosee mneykro

Will it be me or will it be her

To say I love you first?

 

One million years, maybe I’ll be a light beam

Lonely laser in the vacuum

And maybe she's a photon too

And we'll pass through each other, tied in quantum

 

Making words up while we made love

One month and she's in my blood

Ooheeah lalo, faroosee mneykro

Will it be me or will it be her

To say I love you first?
