Going Nowhere
I need a pen to write down what you said
You have a way with words like nobody else
Like nobody else
I want to get a better view
(What did you say)
I said I want to see things a little better
I’m a big fan of how you write your letters
You write like a typography machine
I was clearly going nowhere
I needed some way in your conversation
I’ll let you know
When I have something valuable
To bring to bring to your table
And maybe next time I see you
I’ll talk a little too
I’m obsessed with the
(same)
one or two lines
I got a whole book
All I do is write them down
Speak directly into the microphone
Project your voice and just try to ignore me
Talk about your and whatever you’re doing
So I can look at you and later still listen
I wrote you a song last week but I forgot how to play it
For me just being around you’s enough
so I’m okay with saying nothing
I’ll let you know
When I have something valuable
To bring to bring to your table
So you can think I’m interesting
Enough for you to say something
In a way that feels natural
Like we’ve always known each other
And we just keep talking forever
Maybe next time I see you
