Sleep will never find me
as I wait
To see if you think
it's too late
Have you turned those blue eyes away?
Could you not bear another day
Of us?
When did it turn
To overkill
When were we no longer
Inseparable
Too fast, too fast
Listen to a
Meaningful song
Repeat, repeat
Until you get sick
And so it goes on the shelf
indefinite
it doesn't quite sound the same,
does it?
Too much playing
wears the record out
Sure, buy a new one
But then it won't be me
Tell me, please tell me
Before the record breaks
Do I have to repeat myself?
I want to know
What you think when you play
That song
1/28/02
It's 3 am and it's a cold walk home
But I have no choice
If there's one place I don't belong
It's back there
I was lying naked
Letting the truth come out
He turned his back
And told the wall
Who then told me
How he felt
I told his back that
I understood
And then he asked for
Time to think
About what's best for him
For his life
And it is best for me
To let that happen
I shrunk into the blanket
Covered my chest
To keep my heart from
Pouring out
And suddenly I felt
Like a stranger in that bed
How can you sleep beside
Another naked stranger?
I covered my emotion with
Clothes off the floor
I locked the door behind me
As I stepped out of his life
For the moment
It's 3am...and it's a cold walk home
