lyrics

truth be told, I was scared to wake you up
would you recall the night before?
would you open up your eyes, see me, and then
grab your clothes, run for the door?

but I found to my relief
that that wasn’t the way it was gonna be
the last thing you wanted to do was leave
you wanted just to lie in bed with me

sadly, I had to drive you to your work
on a day gray with rain
but you said, though the weather was so bad
it was sunny in your brain

I always have a pen in my pocket
you always have a crossword in your bag
you knew one of Carroll’s walrus’ topics
and I knew that 13 down was “cad”
(a 3-letter word for a scoundrel)

and last night I feel asleep
fondling that 1937 quarter that you gave me to keep
it’s smooth like you
cause like me, it’s been worn down
I can’t forget how you looked at me
I wish you were around right now

how we wished for a magic alarm clock
we could snooze and make time freeze
so we could stay there in bed all fucking day
watching David Attenborough dvd’s

you always have your crossword puzzle
you know I always have my pocket pen
now I just have to hope this buzz will last
until I see you again
I can’t wait ‘til I see you again
