lyrics

I am teaching myself to remember your name
Tom
Alice
Jude or Jade
I made a list
Things to do
An interlude to self-improve
Because I’m into you
And we’re still friends
Still life and only
Ever drunk on buses and trains
Always in search of
When will I see you again
Again a game of hearts in search of
Question
Are you drunk
Lonely
Estranged
Are all of the above a pisstake
Mystic Sage
When will I see you again

Again a game
Where I would walk this way
Just to say hi
Goodbye, old soul
You are cold
And I’m over it
Over those
Easy laughs
Obvious jokes
Self-pity
Diminish in a city of diminishing returns
Of yearning
Learning to sing dance act
Like I’m on the mend
When I’m a triple threat
And the fact is
That we’re still friends
Still life and only
Just making ends meet
Needs must
We pretend to be a part of this century
So far adrift from where you are

You are where you are
You are where you are
You are where you are
You are where you are

Like so many
Metaphors I don’t have time for
I could tell you I’m not performing
Not a lot like but liking Billy Corgan
LET ME GIVE THE WORLD TO YOU
Gary
Mark
Jess or Jessica
Now you’re just guessing
Digressing
I’m messy
Confessing
What’s the best way to say it
Not be depressing
Time was never right
For us to be still friends
Still life and only
Ever drunk on buses and trains
I am teaching myself to remember your name
