Fine Until You
Van Gogh's Grandsons
Dangerous Attraction · Two Vines Entwined · Beautiful Instability
#VERSE
What good is stability
Locked inside a cardboard box
Tossed from a delivery van
Bounced off the porch into the rocks
Clawed my way out of that box
My bones held tight by super glue
Gathered my strength, knocked on your door
I was fine—fine until you
#CHORUS
Calm, clear mind
Sips of Riesling wine
On the vineyard hillside
Enjoying the view
I was fine, fine, fine
Finer than fine
Then two vines entwined
Fine until you
Fine until you
Fine until you
#VERSE
It’s our first date, your eyes talk to me
Reciting poetry with wine
Brie cheese on the vineyard’s crackers
You hold my hand, we both recline
As I lay back, your hooks dig in me
I lose the strength to pull away
My eyes stay silent, but lips speak to you
One kiss brings blue skies from my gray
#CHORUS
Calm, clear mind
Sips of Riesling wine
On the vineyard hillside
Enjoying the view
I was fine, fine, fine
Finer than fine
Then two vines entwined
Fine until you
Fine until you
Fine until you
#BRIDGE
I drop you off
Drive home in silence
Know this first date
Must be the last
Sixteen months
Of in-depth counseling
My stability
Gone in a flash
#INSTRUMENTAL
#VERSE
I hide from you, block your number
Stumble through darkness in a new cardboard box
The thought of your blue skies weighs on me
Then some delivery driver knocks
I crack the door, I sign his tablet
He leaves the box sitting outside
I claw it open, melt from your affection
Twelve bottles of Riesling wine
#CHORUS
You sent it, I signed
Case of Riesling wine
Unstable fingers texting
Under skies so blue
I was fine, fine, fine
Finer than fine
Then two vines entwined
Fine until you
#CHORUS
Calm, clear mind
Got left behind
On the vineyard hillside
Enjoying the view
I was fine, fine, fine
Finer than fine
Then two vines entwined
Fine until you
Fine until you
Fine until you
