I caught you caterwauling, giving grief Thought you were cannonballing after me I let your actions speak for themselves And wished you well
But you're a mirror I cannot avoid Strung out and jittery and paranoid A leaky battery that can't keep charged Get in the car
And say what you mean Explain yourself to me I'll try not to judge you more than you would Let me help I promise not to tell Not like anyone's asking Or like anyone should
First time I met you I was full of fear Knew that eventually you'd disappear Just when I needed you you'd burn to smoke And off you'd go
Just come back Peel away the mask Lay here beside me And open your eyes Take it back Your dignity, your tact Turn back to the person You tried to let die
I caught you nesting with your analogue Glassy-eyed from kissing poison frogs Becoming infinite against his couch Open your mouth
And say the words You used to wish you heard Back when you focused Enough to be good And if you're gone An endless false alarm Just remember I loved you As long as I could
