The Forecast

It’s harder to get up on the right side of the bed
These days foot steps in snow make me feel less alone
It’s secret I’m still hoping for some kind of X-ray vision
And I would beam into your bedroom blinds just so I knew you were alright
Acting mature is overrated I miss the days of keying cars
And spreading rumors on the bathroom stalls and locker room walls
Where we forgot we looked when we were hoping no one noticed
Praying someday we’d fit into this mess
It won’t be long before I
Forget just what it felt like
To fall asleep with you breathing next to me
I shut the door when you left to keep out the cold and myself
From running after you just like I saw in the movies
It’s true I have my regrets we never danced on roof tops
And I have found some fake words to say when somebody asks about our death
It won’t be long before I
Forget just what it felt like
To know that I did not know anything
It’s safe to say that even though we’re disregarding
I can’t help but to wonder which song you’re humming
And so I sit and pretend that I don’t mind that I don’t know you
or what your schedule might look like on any given Thursday afternoon
somebody wrote this rulebook and so we will make the effort
to be more scarce in the social situations that we might share
It won’t be long before I
Forget just what it felt like
To feel anything for you at all
In lines at grocery store I’m dozing off into you arms
And I hope some days you can’t help but to doze off to me to

The curtains have been closed, I am cold still
When hunters blow their smoke into the hills
And the pretty girls pick pine cones, In the white fields
And I am wide eyed waiting for you
So Mother mind the your words
These are young ears built to feast on what it is they hear
Mother don’t be cruel
If you are looking, a good man will whip himself in front of you
Win or lose, He will be there for you
And he will call you by your first name
Win or lose, I cannot comfort you
Anymore than my touch can tell
The lungs that I could long for
Are heaving hearts full of
Empty books on wood shelves starving
And the mouths that speak the good word
I am not good for because I tasted the fruit when it was ripe
And so I wash my hands clean of these things
And I will lick my lips and you will look but you can’t touch
And you will go on stalwart fighting for your causes
And I will go on stalwart counting all my loses
I am just as good as the ones who
Stand in the street and beg for mercy
Unlock your cellar door and let loose the demons
You keep within the belly of your beast
Win or lose, He will be there for you
And he will call you by your first name
Win or lose, I cannot comfort you
Anymore than my touch can tell

Please don't waste your time on girls who claim they know everything about you
Because their textbook told them to diagnose and carry on through
We will walk the Earth in separate states, but I am only a phone call away.
And I will offer wise words out of place for a girl my age.
Someday you will be a rich doctor and the ladies will fawn for you,
and you will drive outlandish sports-cars
that scream 'vroom-vroom".
And you will wake up every morning
feeling better than the last,
and your wife will thank you for your love
no fingers pointed at you.
So when you think about it this way,
it doesn't seem so bad.
Even cheerleaders get lonely.
And someday you will have a family to sing to sleep
and they will buy you ugly t-shirt that say things like "World's greatest father"
and who knows? maybe you could be so I'll bite my tongue,
And you will wear them out in public despite better judgement
So when you think about it this way,
it doesn't seem so bad.
Even cheerleaders get lonely.
And Peter cried wolf
and I stand soaking in the same old sins,
Oh give me my sin again.
You've been known to put your ducks in a row
Even cheerleaders get lonely.
So please don't waste your time on this one, she didn't make you shine.
And please don't mope around your apartment watching Freddie Prince marathons.
There are better things that live on the outsides and ins of you
And the things you thought never would be
will come true.
