Bootstraps and Belt-loops
I pull you up by your bootstraps
You pull me down by my belt loops
But baby, we've pulled through
By the skin of our teeth
I never said I was perfect
I just crossed my fingers
Finding perfection in
Clumsy hands, open hearts.
I bite my lip and reach for skylines
You shrug you shoulders and trod below
But through bootstraps and teeth-skin
I know we'll meet in the middle
So we'll both take deep breaths
And I'll stroke your hair
One foot follows another; difficult
But we've been here before
