Two Little Clementines

from Looking Up by The Summer Januaries

/

lyrics

Two little clementines in the bottom of a bowl
turning slowly to the sunshine
two little clementines, the offering unfolds
steepled fingers open to the two inside
and the world is just a fruit
suspended in the black
it's yawning on all sides
of those two little clementines

and they'll find a way to come back to you
in the summertime, in the city
in their ragged clothes and their army boots
only to disappear with the season

two little clementines laying side by side
ripe and ready for the peeling
two little clementines will never say goodbye
the absences the others were concealing
they find their comfort in revealing

and there's no separate place for your suffering
you just take it in with your breathing
but don't hold it there, just let it out again
it's not part of you, but it's part of what you're making

two little clementines in the bottom of a bowl
turning slowly to the sunshine
drink in the morning light and never let it go
seekers of the ways of love, and lovers there in kind
leave nothing but impressions on the shoreline
