Gracie's blog: "The Best Lyrics Ever"

And it came to me then that every plan is a tiny prayer to father time As I stared at my shoes in the ICU that reeked of piss and 409 And I rationed my breathes as I said to myself that I'd already taken too much today As each descending peak of the LCD took you a little farther away from me Away from me Amongst the vending machines and year-old magazines in a place where we only say goodbye It stung like a violent wind that our memories depend on a faulty camera in our minds But I knew that you were a truth I would rather lose than to have never lain beside at all And I looked around at all the eyes on the ground as the TV entertained itself 'Cause there's no comfort in the waiting room Just nervous pacers bracing for bad news And then the nurse comes round and everyone will lift their heads But I'm thinking of what Sarah said that "Love is watching someone die" So who's going to watch you die?..

He's utterly sarcastic- aesthetically confused He tells me I'm bombastic I want to be his muse An ordinary person who peeked into his void Would only wake up bitter and deeply paranoid [Chorus] He's unenthusiastic. Emotionally abused He's thinks that it's fantastic- I'd walk ten miles in his shoes As I watch him disappearing. I know that it's not right I love him completely - At least for tonight Do do do.... There's a lack of understanding a mutual malaise He thinks I'm reprimanding with my uncertain gaze Though -I can't conceal my feelings ...Like he can't purge his Pain Cause once he sees a mirror.... logic goes down the drain He's unenthusiastic. Emotionally abused He's thinks that it's fantastic I'd walk ten miles in his shoes As I watch him disappearing. I know that it's not right I love him completely - At least for tonight There's a roughness to our romance- A sadness to his step And though he won't admit it... I know he's often wept Perhaps it's just frustration, at stars he'll never reach Reflecting his self image.... Bleeding poetry in the sheets He's unenthusiastic. Emotionally abused If I wrap him up in plastic, I'll save the part he'll never use I watch him disappearing. I try to hold on tight Can't love him completely - At least not tonight

THE BACKGROUND (Jenkins, Cadogan) Everything is quiet, Since you're not around, And I live in the numbness now. In the background. I do the things we did before, I walk Haight Street to the store, And they say where's that crazy girl? You don't get drunk on red wine, And fight no more, I don't see you anymore, Since the hospital, The plans I make still have you in them, Cause you come swimming into view, And I'm hanging on your words like I always used to do, The words they use so lightly, I only feel for you, I only know because I carry you around, In the background. I'm in the background Words they come and memories all repeat, Lift your head while they change the hospital sheets, I would never lie to you, No I would never lie to you, No I felt you long after we were through. When we were through The plans I make still have you in them, Cause you come swimming into view, And I'm hanging on your words like I always used to do, The words they use so lightly, I only feel for you, I only know because I carry you around, In the background. Cause I felt you long after we were through. When you come swimming into view, And I'm hanging on your words like I always used to do, The words they use so lightly, I only feel for you, I only know because I'm way, I'm way, In the background, I'm in the background
