| I had girl I knew she grew became a woman
|
| now I think that she teaches at one of the schools downtown,
|
| we used to roll the windows down
|
| and play the music loud
|
| smoking out in her car
|
| think its where it stole my heart
|
| and we’d get drunk and kiss
|
| our bodies twist like shoe laces.
|
| And we never came out on top;
|
| I guess you were just my type.
|
| You know that summer never stopped.
|
| I still pretend I’m there.
|
| Bands in the living room,
|
| neighbors ain’t never cared.
|
| So when is sat behind the drum set.
|
| Your heartbeat’s what I tried to play.
|
| With kick and snares so careless not in time.
|
| So you got ahead of me.
|
| And I guess I’m still dragging behind.
|
| I had a friend who changed his name
|
| but couldn’t change himself.
|
| Never quite figured out
|
| how to do with what life had dealt.
|
| He put a needle in his arm
|
| to calm his calm his handsome hell.
|
| who would have imagined it?
|
| Could’ve worked out so well.
|
| Now he’s a shape that moves that moves
|
| like echoes through my empty room.
|
| And a there’s a voice that speaks
|
| like someone’s read up on what I need.
|
| I turned around and found
|
| exactly what you wo uld expect.
|
| Clothes all left on my floor.
|
| the Papers piled left on my desk.
|
| But where the ink is where the cause effect what’s meant by it the story is incomplete.
|
| The pictures' left unfinished.
|
| So I am writing my own ending.
|
| I’ll let my pen bleed black or blue.
|
| And I will color in the meaning.
|
| It will be gold and green and true.
|
| And I’ll learn to love my new discovered proof.
|
| I’ll be grateful for this day.
|
| I will be grateful for each day to come. |
