It was nearly nine 0'clock When I thought about you Are you with someone else? It was almost ten o'clock When I thought I'd do something to free myself And then about 12 o'clock I'm driving down your block I see a light Shining underneath your door I'm home about 1 o'clock And you finally call me up And I guess I was hoping for just a little more You give me Just enough To keep me hanging on Till I'm ready to move on And then you find a way, to make your play And then I stay Just enough To give me hope That you will fall in love with me Just enough, Just enough, baby Will you come and see me today Well I don't know It's part of the mystery Will you come and tell me you love me Or let me go I guess we'll have to see You're unpredictable And that keeps me interested But I'd rather have you right here instead You give me Just enough To keep me hanging on Till I'm ready to move on And then you find a way, to make your play And then I stay Just enough To give me hope That you will fall in love with me Just enough, Just enough, baby Oh, oh(bis) You give me Just enough To keep me hanging on Till I'm ready to move on And then you find a way, to make your play And then I stay Just enough To give me hope That you will fall in love with me Just enough, Just enough, baby Oh, oh I've been thinking in the back of my mind I'm losing sleep I'm losing time But I just keep on falling I'm falling I'm falling Oh Oh It gets harder to define In my heart and in my mind I know, I know... I should let you go Just enough To keep me hanging on Till I'm ready to move on And then you find a way, to make your play And then I stay Just enough To give me hope That you will fall in love with me Just enough, Just enough, baby

I've been going home with just enough whiskey Making me forget that maybe you miss me Swiping my way through a Friday night Leave you on read and turn out the lights Whiskey at midnight, it's Too cold to think twice if I let you get inside I might not lose my mind tonight Oh, shit I made a scene Feels good to just be me Hurry up, we're out of time so Hit the cig and bum a ride I've been going home with just enough whiskey Making me forget that maybe you miss me Swiping my way through a Friday night Leave you on read and turn out the lights I wonder sometimes if you would forgive me I could reach out but nah, it's too risky Keeping my thoughts in my head tonight Leave you on read and turn out the lights Meet me at midnight, I'm Too gone to think twice if You let me get inside You just might lose your mind tonight Oh, shit we made a scene Spilling all over me Hurry up, we're out of time It's you and me alone tonight I've been going home with just enough whiskey Making me forget that maybe you miss me Swiping my way through a Friday night Leave you on read and turn out the lights I wonder sometimes if you would forgive me I could reach out but nah, it's too risky Keeping my thoughts in my head tonight Leave you on read and turn out the lights I'll see your ghost tonight Each time I close my eyes It happens every time I'll see your ghost tonight We'll fall straight from the sky Wake up and realize I've been going home with just enough whiskey Making me forget that maybe you miss me Swiping my way through a Friday night Leave you on read and turn out the lights I wonder sometimes if you would forgive me I could reach out but nah, it's too risky Keeping my thoughts in my head tonight Leave you on read and turn out the lights Forgive, I wish you'd forgive me Forgive, I wish you'd forgive me Forgive, I wish you'd forgive me Forgive, I wish you'd forgive me Forgive, I wish you'd forgive me Forgive, I wish you'd forgive me Forgive, I wish you'd forgive me Forgive, I wish you'd forgive me

I'm just blue enough to do most anything And I know I'm going to hate myself again But I know you don't want me like I want you Or you'd be afraid to let me get this blue. You could call me up and tell me that you're blue I can make believe you're not with someone new You could give my heart the will to part with pain I'm just blue enough to do most anything. You can get forgiveness for the wrong you've done Or the heartache that you caused by that response But the words you spoke you never can undo That's what you've done to make me in love with you. You could call me up and tell me that you're blue I can make believe you're not with someone new You could give my heart the will to part with pain I'm just blue enough to do most anything...

Kick the sheets off the night And fuck it 'til its legs shake If we can't make it, alright We can make a tiny earthquake And her sound love's sweet Send lover's tongues by night In this black kingdom of touch We hate our life Blow a kiss to the night And leave it on its way now All the fun has taken flight And soon we'll have to face the day now As Heaven falls, the Earth is spun To pull us further from our Sun The war unwon, the deed is done We're just victims of gravity The final song fades out And shadow fills the room And we lie awake, grieving effigies On our pocket-sprung tomb Deepen in decision And deepen in tristesse Loving takes its sleep With just one last cold caress

Sit by me silently and brush my beard. No mess to mop up from the bed today. Will we sit next door and watch the soaps? We've nothing to do and we've nothing to say. Oh, when you go... Recently, we've been somewhat volatile, and last night it starts with that joan osbourne song. I hate it anyway, but you made it worse. I know why you laughed and you should know you were wrong. Oh, when you go... Bird number one taught me I shouldn't trust, that's why I find unfounded doubts abound. But number two proved that with none, we've nothing. And now I'm only happy when you're not around. Oh, when you go...

She lives and laughs until she cries But love-heart shades hide ember eyes In sunlit selfies, teeth and tan A garish drink, a well-toned man But when the sun has turned its back And shadow sharpens its attack Her muscle memory kicks in To lacerate her paper skin She reads the words that fathers, husbands, sons and brothers said But there's no knowing what is going on inside another head She is a ghost, she's an echo And they can't help if they don't know But the day is coming Soon she'll be bare and unknown On a walk in the park in the dark all alone Her key's in her bag, her earbuds full blast To drown out the birds, disposition downcast And she'll call it bliss They said beware of strangers, but now that's all we are Rolling real-time autofiction, reveries with avatars I'm what I think you think I am The same voice sings a different song A hundred billion neurons making it up as they go along I don't know what you know, I know what I believe I know what I can give But I don't know what you receive The knives are sharpened, pistols drawn The boys warm up and flex their brawn Soon hearts are broken, points are scored It's just some banter when they're bored They've always been there, they're not new But now they've got a good venue Let's hope the day is coming When you'll be bare and unknown On a walk in the park in the dark all alone Your key's in your bag, your earbuds full blast To drown out the birds, disposition downcast And you will call it bliss Cowards under camouflage Lobbing hate-bombs, hurling jeers Faceless brutes and bigots Revealing all their boyhood fears Hostility, fragility Rejected, vengeful tattletales We built another world But history and hate prevail
