" and in that same tourtured melodramatic vein..."

[devaretha]

ani says that in her between song talking on living in clip and i think it so often. now i have a good excuse to use it because i'm posting lyrics, though not ani's. actually, they're dave's. i know i've already yammered about some devil but this song has been on repeat since i got home. it pretty much sums up that melancholy out-of-love feeling. actually, the best word for this feeling is japanese--sabishii--it is a low key longing, a wish for company.



Stay or Leave

May be different but remember
Winters warm where you and I
Kissing whiskey by the fire
With the snow outside
And when the summer comes
In the river
Swims at midnight
Shiver cold
Touch the bottom
Starry night
With muddy toes

Stay or leave
I want you not to go
But you should
It was good as good goes
Stay or leave
I want you not to go
But you did

Wake up naked drinking coffee
Making plans to change the world
While the world is changing us
It was good good love
You used to laugh under the covers
Maybe not so often now
But the way I used to laugh with you
Was loud and hard

Stay or leave
I want you not to go
But you should
It was good as good goes
Stay or leave
I want you not to go
But you did

So what to do
With the rest of the day's afternoon hey
Isn't it strange how we change
Everything we did
Did I do all that I should

That I coulda done

Remember we used to dance
And everyone wanted to be
You and me
I want to be too
What day is this
Besides the day you left me
What day is this
Besides the day you went

So what to do
With the rest of the day's afternoon hey
Well isn't it strange how we change
Everything we did
Did I do all that I could

Remember we used to dance
And everyone wanted to be you and me
I want to be too
What day is this
Besides the day you went babe
What day is this

i should poor myself a glass of wine and have a bath. wish i had some good fiction around here...
