Redemption |
| I was walking home to my house through the snow from the station |
| When Springsteen came clear in my headphones with a pertinent question |
| Oh, is love really real and can any of us hope for redemption? |
| Or are we all merely biding our time down to the lonely conclusions? |
| Darling, let me take your hand as I talk you through this |
| How loneliness edged into deep seeded psychosis |
| Lying awake in crowded hotel rooms focused on tape hiss |
| With my failings laid clear on the ceiling, I don’t think I can do this |
| I don’t think I can do this |
| Well, I’ve tried so hard to not turn into my father |
| But if I only ever skip out his choices, will I ever choose better? |
| Oh, the sad truth is the grass, it will always seem greener |
| So I left you alone in a restaurant in London in winter |
| You deserved better |
| Adam Trask |
| Is on my back |
| And in my ears |
| And the sound comes clear and brings the awful truth |
| That I can’t stand what I’ve done to you |
| And it’s written clear in my diary |
| Today should have been our anniversary |
| But I’m far away and I’m far apart |
| And you’re back home with a broken heart |
| And love is real and I can’t escape |
| I’ll only ever have myself to blame |
| These failures shift and save me in the night |
| Like a fever I can’t break, try as I might |
| Wake me, darling, I need you to take me home |
| But I know in the end redemption is mine and mine alone |
| So if each of us is made off of a tally of mistakes and successes |
| Then the hour in that restaurant makes my score less than impressive |
| Oh, if each can be redeemed by the courage by which he confesses |
| So, darling, I miss you, your music and your musk and your kisses |
| I don’t think I can do this |
