Friday Night
Here's a penny for your thoughts
Maybe a nickel or a dime for your thoughts
Maybe even a quarter or dollar bills for your thoughts
Perhaps, you don't care enough to be around me tonight
Moreover, I'll be alone and cuddle my cat or dog all night
It doesn't matter what I feel anyways
Tattered and forlorn, having one of those days
I'm feeling a little bit sad... I've been doing bad
Not at all mad...glad you noticed
I hope you have the best day that I never had
Not at all crazy...you will be missed
It doesn't help when you put me on a guilt trip
It doesn't relax me when you work me up a lot
It doesn't fix the injuries of the past when I have lost sanity's grip
It doesn't have to be like this all the time...throw all your worries into a boiling pot
This Friday night has been lonesome
This depression has been gruesome
Well, can't complain, life is life I guess
I can tell you I'm insane and you wouldn't mind more or less
Hate being bipolar sometimes
Can't escape the rollercoaster of emotions
Great...here comes the lows after the highs...committing senseless crimes
Can't move on when you drag your feet on bittersweet notions
Vanity and the blues took my seed of hope away
Threw it into the swarming sharks below me
Profanity and the news flood my notifications night and day
I decided not to have a phone with me actually
Dreading the misery I've been bottling up inside
Heading into the labrinth of lies and pitiful pride
Your state of mind is engulfed in flames of unfulfilled fantasies
Reality really bites hard with fangs of devouring agonies
I'm probably being overly dramatic
Maybe I'm acting very, very pathetic
But, I want to know what will make you accept my shameless sympathy
This Friday night, I want to be floating in clouds of serenity, not in the chambers of your captivity
I lay my weary head down to rest
I keep thinking about you at your best
Hoping your Friday night is amazing
Hoping your eyes are stargazing
I'm in a daze when I'm with you
I'm in a daze when I'm with you
But, not tonight...tonight...
Doesn't feel all that right...
I hear the birds chirp in bliss
Why can't I? Happiness amiss
Dismiss my distress
And my overbearing loneliness
I can tell you're a priceless gem...
That shines anew, unlike them...
Life is a difficult game to play
You could be a winner or loser any day
My night sky is the darkest of blues
When I'm with you...and in my muse...
Dismay and disarray fade away
Like the aftermath of mowing a lawn,
Left with perfectly cut grass and come what may
We will be together from dusk to dawn
You will turn out to be a penny for my thoughts, something I've secretly adored
Or an infinite amount of dollars, my priceless friend
I'll keep buying you as many shirley temple shots as I can possibly afford
Your scars I will mend as long as you'll be around the bend
How absurd...well...I tend to get so lost in words
Wish I was merry this Friday night like you
Wish I could love you up like I always do...
Yeah...um...can someone shut up those birds??
