|
I caught you caroling and giving grief |
|
Thought you were cannon-balling after me |
|
I let your actions speak for themselves |
|
And wished you well |
|
But you're a mirror |
|
I cannot avoid |
|
Strung out and jittery and paranoid |
|
A leaky battery that can't keep charged |
|
Get in the car and say what you mean |
|
Explain yourself to me and |
|
I'll tryNot to judge you more than you would |
|
Let me help, |
|
I promise not to tell |
|
Like anyone's asking or anyone should |
|
First time |
|
I met you |
|
I was full of fear |
|
Knew that eventually you'd disappear |
|
Just when |
|
I needed you you'd burn to smoke |
|
And off you go |
|
Just come back and peel away the mess |
|
Lay here beside me and open your eyes |
|
Take it back, your dignity, your tact |
|
Turn back to the person you tried to let die |
|
I caught you nesting with your analog |
|
Glassy eyes from kissing poison frogs |
|
Becoming infinite against his couch |
|
Open your mouth and say the words |
|
You used to wish you heard |
|
Back when you focused enough to be good |
|
And if you're gone |
|
An endless false alarm |
|
Just remember |
|
I loved you |
|
As long as |
|
I could |
