| I was darkened by the sin.
|
| A wasted hour closing innon a lovely day
|
| When I got up before the freeway.
|
| I got up and set my clock.
|
| The river up the street
|
| And down the block got faster and
|
| I wished that I got the nerve to Ask her what she thought.
|
| About why Portland skies are grey.
|
| Why’d you want to see it every day
|
| When you know there’s kids starving
|
| In England/Alaska for the sun.
|
| By the way, can I come?
|
| I swear I won’t be a burden.
|
| Eight o’clock came cruel today.
|
| Can we just lie here instead of leaving?
|
| You and me and Kye had tea there in the kitchen
|
| And I was cold.
|
| I got up and got my coat,
|
| Kissed you three times and winged it home
|
| With a smile wider than my arms
|
| Could stretch in E minor. |
| Don’t go.
|
| I could know you better I know.
|
| And the photo booth memory’s a ghost.
|
| Japanese stickers, a toast,
|
| To how I could kiss you every mile of the west coast.
|
| So Julie can I have a whiskey
|
| Because she got in a car and she never came home.
|
| Hello all my friends, can I have a whiskey
|
| Because I won’t drive far anyway.
|
| Not since I have to go home that way,
|
| By the scene of the getaway…
|
| Hey, Hey, Hey.
|
| Geography and biology
|
| Just basically don’t mesh for me… |
