Montreal from Breaking by Cold Wrecks

Kate said she didn’t have tattoos
But when she was young she drew
All over her arms and legs
She knew what to do
But Canada’s far and I’ve done this thing enough
A nice night is so much

Our maps were our lead ups
The lines across lands
The touch of hands on hands
And not much else

Montreal
I remember it all
And let’s keep it between you and me

No bitter New York
No prospect park
I miss the accents
And I know it wouldn’t last
If I stayed But I liked

The first time
And old friends
Again and again
I watched you tattoo
Watched you bruise
Keep you covered
Keep you new

With last moments and hobbled plans
The longest nights when I couldn’t stand
And a cab that I did not hail
Stopped to take me home
How I did not know
I emptied my pockets and I walked slow

When I did leave
I always leave
And you’re better off without me
