#kathleen
I have a son
not too far south
of me, close enough
to jump in my car
and go speak of my love
but I won't put a bit
in his mouth or saddle
him with my troubles
We could cut our palms
open with sharp knives
and be blood brothers
the rest of our lives
and I could find another
woman in the mountains
instead of staying here
with his mother he loves
while he swims his own
sea of life without me
instead I drive long drives
and count the keys
on the black piano
of the highways at night
passing beautiful women
who wave and smile back
but I'm only dreaming
keeping night watch
over my bed, I dream
about old songs that sing
back to me like one
by Townes Van Zandt
about going down to see
a woman named Kathleen.

You have taken residence in my mind.
Rearranging the furniture,
You make yourself at home.
Put your feet up.
Get comfy.
You'll be here for a long time.

My judgement is clouded.
I can't tell right from wrong,
And you're to blame.
My habits have changed.
My friends call me insane,
And you're to blame.
My stomach constantly tickles.
My feet are walking toward you,
And you're to blame.
I'm ghosting my fingers on your spine.
Our lips are touching,
And you're to blame.

don't drag me along on a ride you're not even on
you've gotten off this theme park attraction and i didn't even notice
i was too busy smiling from ear to ear
just tell me you don't love me anymore

the hardest
part of
saying
goodbye is
the fact
that
sometimes
there's no
closure

I'm still on this ride
You've gotten off a long time ago
Someone took your place
and they're actually enjoying this attraction with me
