| You’re too occupied choking on the smoke from this short fuse of mine
|
| Which took a half year to light (a half year to light)
|
| To realize you should have waited for some sort of cue
|
| Before jabbering on and on about the towns you once knew
|
| Because frankly, I’d asked you to stay
|
| It’s not my fault that you left anyway
|
| A borrowed idea which was yours to borrow
|
| You can thank me later
|
| To keep you busy day after day during sets of long hours
|
| Dealing four dollar drinks to ten dollar tables
|
| Is this all as you imagined it?
|
| A talented townie, just wasting it
|
| Because frankly I’d asked you to stay
|
| So, here’s 22 syllables to show you I’m capable…
|
| Until you decide we’re taking our time
|
| I’ll read about us a couple days every month
|
| Until you decide we’re taking our time
|
| I’ll read about us a couple days every month
|
| It’s not me in a rut
|
| It’s not me in the rut
|
| Taking our time couple days every month
|
| It’s not me in the rut
|
| We’re taking our time couple days every month
|
| It’s not me in the rut
|
| It’s not me in a rut
|
| My winter in Medford is quieter without you
|
| (You just make yourself at home)
|
| My kitchen at midnight is quieter without you
|
| (You just make yourself at home)
|
| My evenings in early are quieter without you
|
| (You just make yourself at home)
|
| My pockets and wallet are quieter without you
|
| (Have you made yourself a home?)
|
| But, frankly, I’d asked you to stay
|
| It’s not my fault that you left anyway
|
| Until you decide we’re wasting our time
|
| I’ll be reading about us a couple days every month
|
| So, until you decide we’re wasting our time
|
| I’ll be reading about us a couple days every month |
