Ephemera

She handed me one of her flyers Asked me to come see her show She was kinda cute so I smiled and said yes Dropped it after a few blocks Watched it blow away like a leaf They say it doesn't hurt to ask But what the hell do they know? The fact is they say a lot of stupid things Someone ought to call them out For all their crazy beliefs I liked you as soon as I met you But I met you as you were about to go The only thing I was able to do for you Was get you a glass of water When no one else saw you were thirsty There's nothing understand — there's so much to overlook I heard a few things secondhand — made some choices on the hoof But doing something bad don't mean you're no good I caught up with that flyer As I was headed into the metro Almost bent down to pick it back up But the wind grabbed it again And soon it was out of reach
