Squint Would-be Anniversaries
I turn the lights on
I feel the heat upon my skin
I look to you I see
You haven't been sleeping through the night
But this is my fault
I keep you up at night with grief
Lying in our bedroom
Eyes open staring up about
Another would-be anniversary
Come and gone
I know that I'm in love, but I'm feeling much better
now
I can't remember
Exactly what was said
Or exactly what she looked like
As she walked out of my life
Maybe her hair was down
or in a pony tail swing around
High heels and a fancy dress
Ripped jeans and the perfume I liked the best
Pale stars are shining
Not enough to make your features out
Tear stained worries
Wonder what that you did wrong
But you don't know what today is
and how can I explain it
Another day, another time
Another song, another rhyme
This day meant something
This day meant something to me
This day meant something
When I was with someone else
Another would-be anniversary
come and gone.
