Dean Hill

Woke up bathed in rays of light
Monday morning shining through bamboo chords
Pressure on my lips, a kiss
You gave me in another world
I wish you'd just stay inside
Occupy my lonely mind an hour or three
Talk to me the way you did
Before every word that passed your lips
Was an apology

See I never minded Monday's
When we shared a bed
I minded the sharing
Itself in the end

Don't let me forget why
When I don't see you I lose my mind

It's a cider kind of afternoon
Class let out, I'm winding down the dirt road
Windows down, I sing along to
Sammy Rae on the radio
But I'm spinning like these dying leaves
The path I chose can't carry me away in a gust of wind
Now even though my bed's my own
I wish I was still comfortable with you in it

See I didn't mind the sharing
When I knew that it wasn't pretend
I minded pretending
That you trusted me in the end

Don't let me forget why
When I don't see you I lose my mind
