Football

The poem she wrote about me was about
How when we're small the kinds of wounds
We get are cuts on legs and rubbing alcohol can burn em out
And bleed away all of the things that make us sick
When we bandange them in sterile wrappings lectured
Not to pick at all the little bits that form over the skin as it grows back
Its that kind of self control I seem to lack

Go long
I wanna play football in the fall

Go long
Lets play football in the fall

Overnight shift at the hospital
I'm on a one to one
Losing sleep I'm counting sheep
Realizing you're the only one
Everyone else a carbon copy
A chain of electron bonds
Nonsense chemistry that's buried me since 1991
And so I ask for what I want as if
I'm telling you a joke
You answer me with words I wish I wrote

Not yet a doctor but I think I know
Enough to diagnose
That I'm sick of loneliness and
You're the antidote
Speaking of toxins did I tell you
That you're cute when you get stoned
You say it makes you skeptical
But I think I'd like to know if I can stand up to you're scrutiny
I'd love to walk you home
If it's with me then we wont have far to go
