Learning Leaning Yearning
Where did all the money go
and where did you take the television?
that i carried up the stairs
because ive been repairing
and reconstructing
the whole time
and god damn
god damn
im not ready
and i wasn't
In a year or so
she'll call me back
and we'll start this whole thing over
maybe when i'm sober
maybe when im older
and can understand the colder shoulder
i can wake her up and roll her over
In a year or so
i'll return the favor
and we'll learn from the mistakes
what it takes
when it breaks
and what it feels like when its fake
so i can hold her when she wakes
it only took a week
to dirty up the sheets
it only took a month to
decorate
the place
restless restless heart
race
you're too tall for your own good
you're too awkward to keep friends
as we've learned it always ends
and you're stuck with yourself
till the day is done
don't we just think it's perfect?
don't we just think it's beautiful
when everything falls apart?
isn't it a change of tides
and emotions
lives and oceans?
the hardest part
is learning from it
