i woke up
but now
i am too tired

i could do a push-up
if i tried
but i am too tired

i could take time to enjoy
my sweet old etcetera
but i am too tired

i could stand up for myself
if i tried
but i am too tired

i could write stories of awe
and songs of legend
but i am too tired

i could improve
if i tried
but i am too tired

i could rest
if i tried
but i am too tired

Tank running empty
Indifference feels like ice
Not much left to give

Sweet Caroline,
You're on my mind.
You're a crazy minx,
But you're pretty fine.

I can't deny,
I miss you close,
So I read your words
To get my dose.

We can be strangers if you like
We can talk about the weather
Our silly plans for the weekend
Or how life has been kind to us
Trust me, I'm a terrific actor
You'll hardly be able to tell

We can be strangers if you like
Or at least we can pretend that
It doesn't shred us to pieces...
