Temporary

They're threatening to kick me out

Away from you

But perhaps it's for the best

We were only temporary

I've always wanted to move

Away from here, away from

Poverty

It's a shame to leave you

You're pretty, artsy, kinda

loving you

But we are only

Temporary

Maybe I'll move

North

It's colder, rainy, misty

On the skin

Breathing it in, it's like

The purest water

You could ever taste

Maybe I'll move

East

Across the ocean,

Wales or

Germany

Get a better

Education

But the politics sound pretty

Crazy

Would you move with me?

West, we could

Share a flat

In San Fransico

Where the hippies and the nerdies

Plant trees while they're kicking out

The poorer and the poor

Maybe go down

South

Get skin cancer

Earlier than planned

Spend weekends on the beach

Just hope the water isn't full of

Pee

If I sound depressed,

Know that I'm just sad

That we were only

Temporary

Move
