Salutations

Salutations

To whom it may concern

The litter box has overflowed

The frozen dinner burned

Oh we're running low on wine, my man

Could you please swing by the store

My TV's just reality

And I can't watch no more

There's a shining diamond somewhere

Where a kid is striking out

His dad is in the dugout

He's foaming at the mouth

A stomach's turning sour inside

Of a disappointed scout

Yeah he thought he'd found the real deal

But now he's got his doubts

So it's over before it began

But I could nurse you in the triage

I could stick you with some pins

But it's hopeless

These rules make no sense

First they say we can't be lovers

And now they say we can't be friends

Ruminations

This medicine don't work

Had that same thought ten thousand times

It's only getting worse

Swore off temptation

But what if it's what I really wanna do

But how could I apologize

For telling you the truth

There's a burnt out light bulb above my head

It's storing my ideas

There's a yearbook on the book shelf

That can't explain the years

Well I never should have signed it

But you know summer's coming soon

When I almost drowned you gave me mouth to mouth

Beside your neighbor's pool

It was over before it began

You could've left me in the water

But you made me live again

And I'm sorry

I can't pay you back

I wanna hold you 'til the world dissolves

But we just can't get attached
