Love Bug Sonata

Slowly realizing with some help that life has never been about the things that we 
can live without but the things we can’t
I wore you socks to bed instead because thoughts of you ran through my head 
and I couldn’t get them out instead I wondered if it was me you thought about 
Telephone poles stood like crosses across from the insane train that took me 
swaying away from the place where we used to chase our teems of dreams 
through leafy trees I thought in that spot that I could never live without your crazy, 
lazy, always hazy smile
Come back to me for a while?
You’re family reaches a peak that can only be described as a shriek or a squeak 
but I loved them right away without having to stay or say much of anything at all 
Never felt very comfortable with anyone who was punctual but we showed up late 
to every date we made 
We paid the price with grains of rice and were always nice and sought 
forgiveness from the villains, who were taking our time, 
Don’t worry because I know its fine
Realized that I could live without everything else that the world was about as long 
as you shared my thoughts and lent me your socks, slept in my bed and ravaged 
my head with crazy ideas I’d never come close to grasping always relapsing 
about
Found out what friendship was all about and that I couldn’t live without the girls 
who made me want to shout and that’s what life is all about and what I’ll always 
live for.
