lyrics

I was working for the kitchen
On day three I did the dishes
You walked up that hill but didn’t greet me with kisses
But instead undid my wishes
Held my hand and sat on the floor
It was muddy
You were in shorts
Listened to the beatles
Went back a few tracks and told me the news
But I knew we were through
But theres still hope for part two
We broke rules
She knew how to refuse secrecy I just missed mystery
Hoping you would jump in at night
To sleep with me like the first time
I didn’t know you were mine
When you said you cant
And I said goodbye
But you opened up my lonely eyes
With a stimulating surprise
Of hopping in my bed with your arms
Wrapped around my head
And your tongue through my lips
Filling your wish you said I was yours and you could be mine
The next morning was the first I woke up early for work and drank my coffee
Alone and shared a laugh with some friends
Got drunk with two gay men
Arguing in the front seat
In the back seat was me and three bags of laundry
I hugged them goodbye
Then drove through the night sky
Speeding down the road hit a tree
When I lost control had to run back home
Got help from Sam
A trust worthy man
And ran back home
To catch you alone
Said your place was too messy and went back to my place
You wiped the sweat from my face
And we talked and kissed and spooned and walked
You the home under the moon
So now that youre gone darling I miss you
