I've got a lot of things to think about before you go and read these cards to me//
It's a lover's letter//
I can't forget her//
I've got a lot of places I'd like to go before I go back to the place I live//
It's a constant dreading//
of paranoia//
I've got a lot of poems I'd like to write, a lot of life I'd love to give to you//
It's an easy decade//
if you want it//
But I will save//
what I've been holding tight//
What has gone and passed over//
I've got a lot of changes in my life I'd like to make before its gone from me//
It'll be a while to get it right//
so I hope you keep me company//
She counts the lines on my hands//
I know its bullshit but at least I don't feel lonely//
I've got a lot of time I'd like to spend before they go and take it all from me//
A life with my son//
but I'm only human//
But I will save//
what I've been holding tight//
What has gone and passed over//
And all my words, won't live up to the bitter nothing//
I can taste it//
I've got a lot of changes in my life I'd like to make before its gone from me//
It'll take a while to get it right//
so I hope you keep me company//
She blows the candles out and I get up//
Reach in my wallet just to pay the lady//
She never does quite get it right//
But it's not the destination, it's the journey, or something dumb like that//
