• Bright lights flash by
    like the moon on the sea
    And this car drive
    feels like a disease
    I get to be by your side
    feel the sickness rise
    ’cause I know
    you’ll never be mine
    But I realize
    that I’d be content
    just to find in you
    a close friend
    But I can’t speak
    without fearing my words
    You rejected me
    and I understood
    But I always think that
    you’ll take what I say
    and after that time
    see it the wrong way

    A stop at the park
    say hi to the waves
    walk along their barrier
    their breaking rain of spray
    I wanted to place
    my hands at your waist
    make sure you didn’t fall
    but unsure of how that’d make
    You stopped and sat
    and I sat facing you
    shoulder to shoulder
    thinking of something to say or do

    Then you laid your head on me
    and I was left confused
    Spent the next day
    with self-abuse
