lyrics

once a long time ago i was lost at sea. i watch tv. it's two a.m. and i'll never know if i will sleep again. but i can't help but wonder, what will they think of next? do i decide between dying and trying? what does it matter if i spend all my money on gas? to keep things alive. sometimes i do enjoy a hug or two (i whisper through) or three or four or nine or more. was it funny in the chest? or did you grow up on me again? i forgot to stop and smell the roses. the physical flies by and my wits remain frozen. did you grow up? soon enough i'll make amends with the time i've wasted, lost with no placement. it's another thing to say you can't take it back again. but if you remember you cared enough back when i had a plan, it saves you from the force of fail and propels you to the front again. and i'm so tired. and i'm so lame. and the shame's the last time i found aid in a band wrapped around my knee. and i never realized i so completely distanced myself from the simple things. how do i get in line again to place the bet i saved 'till the end. what does it matter if i'm broke by my shallow sighs? i need more time. it's easier when i've got more alive on my side, to keep me surprised. or i'll just wait for patience's sake. last night i only saw new cars. by that i mean ones i've never seen before. but the drivers were familiar like long lost friends and that girl i had a crush on in second grade. her name was trisha and she had curls in her hair like all cute girls should. i don't know if she still lives in that house but she's definitely living somewhere. second grade loves never die. i'd stare at her house every time we'd drive by. i still do. she's of driving age now and has been for a few years. she's been on my mind since last night and i don't know why. i heard a voice say"you still need me." i found, i found you, i found you outside. it was soft, it was sweet, it was her. even after eleven years i remembered. not to mention eleven years will take it's toll on a big curled child. and then, on impulse, i spoke: we have got to get things moving. shameless raging, inconclusive. don't make us offers worth refusing 'cuz we've got disaster attached to what matters. soon enough i'll make amends with the time i've wasted. soon enough again. soon enough my friend. soon enough and then... what? when your eyes run dry. what? when we lose the drive. what? when the timings tried and failures fine and all things divine arrive via satellite. can we ever rest as we strive by night? if the meanings trite. when electric you discover you're right.
