She can’t stop running interference And though I held her dear once I can’t keep up this spin Why don’t you keep that aspect of yourself for him Like you’ve been trained to do But I never will be you In all this mountainous thunder And taking a number To be what you are Has every star Been categorised And every sunset a way the day dies I don’t know about your aching pain As it tries to force me to stand in the rain Because you got wet From a time you cannot forget All the lights shine But forever will never be mine As long as I pick up after you I feel cold at the sound of your laughter too Because it rings of disdain And your aching stain On the carpet or sheet There must have been a reason we meet By universal design But know that I cannot call mine What only pulverises And she surmises That I’m cutting, direct The words she hurls haven’t changed me yet But I just feel this sigh Coming on like a longing goodbye As I wonder why She never understood jack And now she cannot take it back
