-
You drone on and on about some punk-rock ballad,
and I pretend that I've heard the song.
-
You laugh shamelessly as my mother slices my grapefruit into perfect, spoonable triangles
-
You came and repaired the broken parts
Leaving a path behind as you went
-
Strong and steady, you've been my current
Pushing me forward day after day
-
I could dress to impress, just like her
But I doubt it would turn your head,
-
I wrote my name on the palm of your hand,
and watched you wash me away
-
If you saw me today,
I doubt you'd say a word
-
My confusion is groundbreaking,
When I see them with that girl
-
It's a reaccuring dream,
This nightmare of a fallout
-
Harsh undertones
Of a smooth tune
A jagged romance,
-
"What are you waiting for?"
I scream in his face
Though, he refuses to hear me
-
It's impromptu, that smile
You're better unrehearsed
When you seem to keep me guessing
-
My weakness takes the form of words,
Taking the shape of his promises
-
The crisp, cool December air
Not altogether welcoming,
-
You swore you were in love,
And your feelings were real
-
To be with him,
Or not to be with him?
-
I must have been asleep all year,
Because nothing makes much sense
-
At this stage, this day,
I find humor in the little things,
In finally knowing better
-
I'm hell bent on keeping my promises,
To knock myself down from my high horse
To apologize when I'm clearly in the wrong
-
November rolled in at long last,
Carrying all our baggage in with it
-
You always connect with your music,
I've watched you hang on every verse
-
I hate your silence, the wall you put up
Your inability to open up
Though I know you've got more to offer
-
You asked me why the music stopped,
And I struggled for a sound reply
I squinted as the lights flashed on,
-
I can't help but be this way,
Using sarcasm as my shield
-
They had nothing to say to one another
There were no words left to say,
As they'd poured them all out,
-
Smoke dances about from the tip
Settling in the air around me
It's been another long day
-
Stop me if this sounds familiar,
If you've heard this one before
-
I swear that I don't love you
Or the memories I'm stuck with
Smile big for the camera,
-
I'll always look defeated
Lost the battle, lost the war
-
All of your pretty promises,
They've left me a quiet cynic
You swore to keep my secrets
-
Tonight I wanted to crank the wheel,
Flip my car and forget all about you
-
He's nothing more than the beat of a drum,
That's been stuck in my head all week
-
Break the sound barrier boy
Scream your words out loud
-
For the first time in two years,
I'm not fearful of the road ahead
-
You seem to fit me like a good pair of jeans
Tight, close, comfortable,
