| Explain to me these lifetimes How they wrap around each other Yet manage to remain Completly detached So when all else fails Look at me with your sad eyes And I will forgive you Even when you don't deserve my forgiving And you will say to me Hey darlin' Come and talk with me And tell me how you feel (How I feel could never be explained in words) But you manage to get out of me, an I'm fine today... And how about you? Would you like some dinner? Darlin' I could make it for you Tears are the seasoning of choice Can you taste me in your soup? No, I don't suppose you could You never did before But that's beside the point The point is I want to escape this lifetime Walk out on the dock by the lake Where I can dangle my feet in the water Just long enough to get used to it Before I jump in and drown In all that you have Forgotten to say |
