my earthquake it was
way back when
couldn't understand
the words you were trying to use
i shiver and i shake
coughing blood red flakes
it was a mistake
to use use use you
abuse is one way
to live about your days
i'm up in my tree
the foliage hides me
i look you deep in the eye
you're gone, you're gone
what a surprise
i'm a goner to
in your green dress
you shake and jive
get all dolled up
let's go for a ride
push the pedal in
pushing one ten
my camera lens
facing the highway
it's sad to watch your best days pass
without a laugh
i can be so stern and serious sometimes
you always were the best one
(dressed in white)
you always were the best one
(your hand gently touching my side)
i planted a bird on to your chest so you'd remember me
but when i left i flew out of your head
i didn't see you again 'till two thousand and ten
but it was to late
i was drunk and making bad decisions again
but it was to late
you're out there in the world in another time and place
but it was to late
i was drunk and making bad decisions again
but it was to late
you're drunk and you're staring at the stars from another place
i've always been fascinated by human anatomy
the way my bones felt inside of me
when you said that you were through with me
the way your skin felt close to me
though it was not preordained
god knows it was not supposed to be
you said come here and just hold me
but no funny business please
lets just go to sleep
