Adrienne

Adrienne, we've been at the bar since half past ten

I think I like you but I don't know when

To let you know

Am I just a friend? I don't want to overthink things yet

You know I've been alone since god knows when

And I want to let you in

But I stumbled on my tongue

Blamed it on the barelled rum but I

Was only high on every word you said, Adrienne

And I've been wondering lately

How you've been

6 a.m., the morning after in your twin sized bed

How the sunlight danced in reverence

And I couldn't bear to go

Soft-spoken, you said I dreamed you were a poem I read,

So when are you coming back to Burlington?

I said I didn't know

But I fumbled on my tongue

Blamed it on the barelled rum but I

Was only high on every word you said, Adrienne

And I've been wondering lately

How you've been

So Adrienne, would you let me in?

Cause I'd do it all again
