about

song written at age 19.

lyrics

saliva caught in the back of my throat.
only if i could choke down what you said to me today.
i ain't got no season to reinforce your reason
on why you think my love would just waste you away.

my life- right now- is like smokin' an empty pipe.
let the light burn your lips as you inhale what don't exist.
can my life get much more hopeless than this?
i don't know. maybe i should wait til tomorrow.

and so now what you gonna do when she don't come for you?
i know that i'm not going to save you.
i just wish that i had something better to do
than to sit around thinking about where i went wrong with you.

oh what a scene when life can be so clean.
it brings you to the right spot at the right time.
but only when you're not searching for it.

i threw out my rope. it produced no hope.
you just- you just choked my hope!
and when i pulled back- you let go, you let go
from the grip you didn't have from the get go
i'm so glad that i- i'm so glad that i let go.

and so now what you gonna do when she don't come for you?
lord knows no kind of love is going to save you.
i just wish that i had something better to do
than to sit around thinking about where i went wrong with you.

it must have been wrong from the get-go.
from the get-go.
round in circles. round in. round in. round in circle.
round in circles.

and so now what you gonna do when i don't come for you?
i don't know how i thought my love would save you.
just glad that i had nothing better to do
than to sit around writing this little old song for you.

saliva caught in the back of my throat.
only if i could choke down what you said to me today.
i ain't got no season to reinforce your reason
on why you think my love would just waste you away.

it won't.
