Went Looking For Trouble

You are not fucking around anymore

You just don't have the energy

And you say, "Get up off your bended knee"

Grow up

The rain is falling and it chases us like a rapist

Into the basement of your parents' house

Where I will sit down quiet as a mouse and watch you eat yourself alive

But I meant you no harm

At the start

Still working on your short story

Like Simon's human trampoline

You're wearing all of New York City's complaints

Still naked underneath our clothes

Still smoking out of fire escape windows

I know it is too much to ask you to ever change

On a towel

Staring at the ocean

I was late

You were right on time

It wasn't fair

But it never really could have been

A fair fight

Lover's prayer

Please just let me stay here

What on Earth is wrong with me?

I need a girl

Don't send me a woman

Answer me

And at night when the walls disintegrate

I changed my mind, never mind, think I'll stay

How could I know?

Could I know

Could I know

Could I know

Could I know

Could I know

Could I know

Could I know

A lover's prayer

Simple to remember

I was wrong

You were right

Are we free?

Or merely just pretending to be alive?

Ah, let's go home

I've seen all I want to

The chemicals on the balcony

We took enough to make anybody turn blue

It's time to leave

And when you walked in on me naked and dumb

I was too bored to imagine much love

How could I know?

Could I know

Could I know

Could I know

Could I know

Could I know

Could I know

Could I know

Could I know

Could I know

Could I know

Could I know
