Bottled in '82

She said what is your point?
What are you really saying?
You're hiding your words, is this really your way and
are you ever really honest
or just afraid to say it straight?
Well darling if you ever knew
how much I need to say to you
and how hard it is to find words at this time,
you'd know I'd need some rum bottled in '82
to keep myself from feeling blue,
cigarettes, a notebook and a pen.
You know that speaking ain't my forte
and the only way I'll find a way
is by losing myself in these tunes.
Well I'm willing to be patient,
relax and clear my conscience,
sip some confidence and learn how to be true.

Goodbye

We both knew hearts could stray
no matter how well
they would resonate
you were my parallel.
But us, we played the fool
and took time for granted
and he turned out so cruel
and left us in a mess.
You know I'd never give up trying,
but my heart's just not in it tonight.
Let's just let things take their time,
my love, I think this is goodbye.
I hope someday you'll pass me by,
I hope someday we'll reconcile,
let's just let things take their time.
But for now, I think this is goodbye.

Your Kafka-esque love
Almost colder
I'd drag you down with me
But I can't get enough of you
A flame through plastic dreams
Pinhole vision
I'd hold you close to me
What would that make me?
Crawl through the fire
Anesthetize yourself
Bereft of desire
Paint it Black

Somewhere he lost his way
driving to the shore
to a place where he would be
if only they were twenty three.
He knows not what to do
or why the waves sit still
at the place where he would be
kaleidoscopic memories.
Trying to see the bigger picture
trying to read between the lines
wondering just when, he'll get back up again
he'll find his way one fall at a time.
His eyes look older now
her face still takes him there
to the place where he would be
if only time had set him free.
He tastes her sable hair
his kisses on her nape
right where he would be
if only time had set him free.
Trying to see the bigger picture
trying to find stars in the sky
wondering just when, he'll get back up again
he'll find a way one fall at a time.
