Basically Basic-Based Things
Just because you’re big, I’m small
Doesn’t mean I can’t recall
Those last two words you said to me
When we were just imagining the
Skies are blue, the grass is green
What have those big eyes seen?
When you were weak and I was
Leaning on that one old fence
Across the Route 66
Where you and I would make sense
Of the mess you left on my front porch
The spreading gas, the fire’s torch
Who would have known you’re
Scorching in the blinding Sun
Looks like those Cubs won
Oh, girls just want to have
Fun is so overrated
When all the love is really hated
And the summer’s warmth has
Faded jeans, black t-shirt
A smile meant to be a smirk
You never looked so much like
Dirt across the water’s mark
Swings swaying in a park
We’re the animals in Noah’s
Arch your back, please don’t cry
Tonight isn’t for goodbye
You even wore that one
Tied up in your sick game
Looking for love, all the same
Everyone just wants a
Name that cloud a flying dove
Don’t you push or try to shove
Jumped off a bridge to prove your
Love is what we paid for
Oh, love is what we paid for
Love is what we paid for when you were...
Gone.
