Can't shake the thought of you
I slept for fifteen hours straight last night. It was glorious. I had pleasant dreams. I'm still a little wonky but mostly recovered from a night of overindulgence. Unfortunately I remember most of my drunkenness - enough to be alternately mortifed and embarassed. (I do enough of that in my sober hours!) Some memories are clearer than others... I remember meeting Frost's wife and thinking she's neat (though I'm sure my dunken conversation was substandard). I remember playing Guitar Hero very badly and doing even worse at Karaoke. I remember too many greyhounds and a liqueur that tastes like black licorice that was truly the end of me. I remember "Sharp Dressed Man".
I woke up just long enough yesterday afternoon to go to Lulu's and walk a bit in some antique stores downtown. Then I came home again, stripped nekkid, and went back to sleep.
It's monday morning and I'm not ready to be back at work:
Two weeks away feels like the whole world should've changed
but I'm home now, and things still look the same
I think I'll leave it till tomorrow to unpack, try to forget for one more night that I'm back in my flat
on the road where the cars never stop going through the night
to a life where I can't watch the sunset, I don't have time, I don't have time
I've still got sand in my shoes and I can't shake the thought of you
I should get on, forget you but why would I want to
I know we said goodbye, anything else would've been confused
but I want to see you again
tomorrow's back to work and down to sanity
should run a bath and then clear up the mess I made before I left here
try to remind myself that I was happy here before I knew that I could get on a plane and fly away
from the road where the cars never stop going through the night
to a life where I can watch the sunset and take my time, take all our time
I've still got sand in my shoes and I can't shake the thought of you
I should get on forget you but why would I want to
I know we said goodbye, anything else would've been confused
but I want to see you again(x2)
I want to see you again
two weeks away, all it takes, to change and turn me around I've fallen
I walked away, and never said, that I wanted to see you again
I've still got sand in my shoes and I can't shake the thought of you
I should get on, forget you but why would I want to
I know we said goodbye, anything else would've been confused
but I want to see you again(x2)
I wanna see you again
I wanna see you again
