stars vs. cars and streetlamps

you call to talk but forget the words to say (you'd practiced at length)
shake hands with names, small talk with faces
chit chat. pretty cat. excellent weather we're having

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the music we would make; if only they could hear!
(ears full of words and wisdom)
what if. if only. keep trying!
you'll make it someday.

we regret to inform you
we regret to inform you

whose we and why is your gun so big?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

you say you want to live in another city
with different weather(maybe the sky's a different shade of [insert colour])

i want to be made from something else(whos favourite element is carbon?)

just how big does that smile get?

how wide are those eyes?
do you dare close them to the day?(blink and you'll miss it)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

how i love the lights!
the bright city and its fight
stars vs. cars and street lamps

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(we're all reading the stars, and they're wrong)

I love your words. I love you too, for that matter.

The above statement is still true. Write more, you big jerk. I like reading your journal.
