I caught you caroling and giving grief Thought you were cannonballing after me Now that your actions speak for themselves And wished you well
But you’re a mirror I cannot void Strung out and jittery and paranoid A leaky battery that can’t keep charged Get in the car and say what you mean Explain yourself to me and I’ll try not to judge you more than you would
Let me help, I promise not to tell Like anyone’s asking or anyone should
First time I met you I was full of fear Knew that eventually you’d disappear Just when I needed you to burn to smoke And off you go
Just come back and peel away the mess Lay here beside me and open your eyes Take it back your dignity attacked Turn back to the person you tried to let die
I caught you nesting with your antelope Glassy eyes from kissing poison frogs Becoming infinite against his couch
Open your mouth and say the words You used to wish you heard Back when you focused enough to be good
And if you’re gone An endless false alarm Just remember I loved you As long as I could
