Summer is the worst time of the year
even though I want you here
it would make things more a mess
though the nighttime will agree
it's the best lighting for you and me
to sneak away from our lives and a confess
I hope you ditch your boyfriend at the end of october
and you think that you want a sleepover
stop thinking the worst
and just ask nice
and you won't have to say it twice
a fool I know and a fool I'll stay
as if I could just take you away
and make things any better
as if we could be the only ones in history
to not succumb to what's meant to be
hide under the sheets
let's be professional forgetters
what a shame that the best part turned out to be
the way we hid from the world in secrecy
like some dumb fantasy
you got engaged to your boyfriend in the fall
and you didn't even bother to call
all the best to you but know your silence was like
falling through ice
at least
you don't have to say it

I like how you think you know stuff
even though you have no clue
something sexy about ill formed confidence
that draws me into you
may we never have to reel from anything close to an ordeal
you're best when everything's simple
you don't make a damn thing simple
I like how you get silent during car rides
the music plays and we cross dark roads and traffic light
something about having no clue to what guides us
through the night
I like that you're no longer part of my life
not a picture or a trace of memorabilia remains
not even the occasional "how you've been" just recovering
as your memory slowly fade
now we never have to real from anything close to an ordeal
you're best when everything's simple
you don't make a damn thing simple

joshua jesty recommends:
one of my favorite rock records in a long time, recorded by Steve Alibini. Hell Yeahs all around.
go to album
The Air Inside Our Lungs
by Measure
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Laura sings like an angel wiping tears off your face. Very mellow very pretty and I just can't quit the drummer in this band no matter how hard I try.. huh?
go to album
Crisis Or Catharsis
by Quickening
amazing hard rock from Cleveland that is super underated.... not that I'd know anything about that.
