i will

look at you                                                                                                           self-righteous

this has nothing to do

with god

you just think that you know something

that the rest of them do not

 and for all your education

they could never teach you this

do not speak of precision

you don’t know what it is

we tell big lies

well into the night

we take out the 45’s                                                          we let ‘em spin and come alive

then the talk turns to what has changed our minds

and to people who are kind

but will be left behind

and they still think that it’s fine

you thought we came here

stolen

but what does that even mean

i’ll still see you on friday                                                  and then sometime

in the spring

if time tells you the answer and it doesn’t take that long

then you may find your decisions

are taller                                                                                than you want

your decisions

are taller

then the talk turns

to what must be overcome

but there is just nowhere to run                             there is nothing

to be done

still                                                                                                               i wonder

what i                              will have to do

to make it up to you                                         and still feel like it’s through

the big lies?

they’re just fading out of sight

go put back your 45’s

set and say goodbye

still hope

that everything’s fine

i will
