| I caught you caroling and giving grief | |
| Thought you were cannon-balling after me | |
| I let your actions speak for themselves | |
| And wished you well | |
| But you're a mirror | |
| I cannot avoid | |
| Strung out and jittery and paranoid | |
| A leaky battery that can't keep charged | |
| Get in the car and say what you mean | |
| Explain yourself to me and | |
| I'll tryNot to judge you more than you would | |
| Let me help, | |
| I promise not to tell | |
| Like anyone's asking or anyone should | |
| First time | |
| I met you | |
| I was full of fear | |
| Knew that eventually you'd disappear | |
| Just when | |
| I needed you you'd burn to smoke | |
| And off you go | |
| Just come back and peel away the mess | |
| Lay here beside me and open your eyes | |
| Take it back, your dignity, your tact | |
| Turn back to the person you tried to let die | |
| I caught you nesting with your analog | |
| Glassy eyes from kissing poison frogs | |
| Becoming infinite against his couch | |
| Open your mouth and say the words | |
| You used to wish you heard | |
| Back when you focused enough to be good | |
| And if you're gone | |
| An endless false alarm | |
| Just remember | |
| I loved you | |
| As long as | |
| I could |
