Happy Ending

she flew backwards out of the ocean
 in slow motion
 up through the fog
 the side of the golden gate bridge
 she never broke every bone in her body
 she's just like me
 looking for a happy ending
 and there's so many stories
 i'm filling up my head
 and they're all allegories
 for where you go when you are dead
 she might live at the bottom of the sea
 it's where she wants to be
 learning to breathe water instead of the air
 i might visit a deep sea diver ambulance driver
 just for a while before i come up for some air
 there's so many ways to talk your old self down
 and it's a game that i play
 or something to do until i'm in the ground
 falling down
 is up sometimes
 not to drown
 there's better times a'comin'
 she exploded up from the deep
 sore from sleeping
 pills all around, looking for something to drink
 she never saw the lines in the mirror
 faces clearer
 looking for a happy ending
 a happy ending
