Her & I from Pigeon by Samson Wrote

Her and her friends blazed up in the kitchen
And I tried to hard to look away
Denim jacket and Birkenstocks
Hardly dressed for winter walk

But she was laughing
Skinny purple dress
I’d never seen her dress in dresses before—or since

And we addressed each other questions
As the stars undressed the sky
Her and I, her and I

I was the one who’d
Always leave early
So much it became a joke
“You just got here, well that just fine,
Maybe stay for ten minutes next time”

But she was laughing,
So I stayed…
She was laughing,
So I stayed…

But all of our friends make
Overwhelming noise
All of our friends make
Overwhelming noise

Blame it on the full moon—I fell in luck with you
Back into the armchair
Jumped up at nearly midnight—you drew me to the corner
(very little light),
You drew me to the corner of your mouth
Playing with my fingers at your sides
Up the stairs where very little light resides
Ten nine eight seven six five four three towards you

One step at a time,
Go her and I, her and I
Her and I, her and I

She led me there
Thinner air
She let me—

But all of our friends had blazed
Up in the kitchen
And I was dying to forget
Foolish things we think we need just to get by

Her and I, her and I
Hand on my arm
My hand on her thigh
Her and I, her and I…

She was talking
Scratchy little sounds
I’d never heard her talk so softly before…
