I know you better than you know yourself,
From football games to car license plates,
Your street address to your middle name,
I know your friends, the layout of your room,

Following, creeping, loving you,

From soccer matches to school classes,...

When the tide goes in

Lays on the shore
Drowning in solitude
Heavy as the evening sun sets
A sea of hurt
A wave of words
No legs to move

No company inside
