(no subject)
curiosity killed the cat and it broke my heart
but hey hey hey hey we're moving on
onward upward left right left right day after day
i'll stretch shake rattle rock roll and scream
with the aftertaste of what i came
i will rest repeat only your name
as i hear the safe and sound of the city calling it out
one two three and fall asleep
this lack of income has the outcome of outstretched hands
i'll bite right through my lip and pray that you show up at my door with outstretched arms
exit nine is never too far away and neither am i or tomorrows day
i cut and dissect every word of it with the precision of a spinal surgeon
(paging doctor shepherd!)
but i'm still always patching up this gaping wound with simple stitches
the sun rises to my left as i drive south
and it rises to my left as i drive north
i just need to keep it on that side of the sky
that way we can always have the night dead to (the) rights
and i found this room for you
a room for two
a room with a view of the rest of our lives
just over that horizon
i'll believe what i want
i can leave if i want but i won't
i'll never stop believing
and i will never be leaving
i wrote it in the sand wrote it in the sky and wrote it down here
but it'll wash away or dissipate or crumble to dust
so i got it tattooed and i wrote it in stone to stand the test of time
a permanent way to say
i can feel you in my bones.
