"Waltz #2" 2004-01-19 - 3:55 a.m.

older - previous - next - profile - host - my band - my lj

I forgot how unbelievably good it feels to write a song

as usual, my opinion of the lyrics is still pending

but it felt good just to get it out

I've been listening to Elliott Smith a lot lately

every night for a while now

and now I can't stop listening to Waltz #2

I'm even a little dissapointed that I have to go play punk music with Ruben tomorrow, because I just want to sit with my accoustic and play depressing stuff by myself

but I know this thing with Ruben is going somewhere, and I'll lighten up eventually

and I realized earlier that my friends have off of school tomorrow; so maybe I'll call them

I don't know

I should go out and look for a job

but if I do that first than my friends will all be out doing something by the time I get back and call them

but right now I don't want to think about it

I want to turn out the lights and close my eyes and drift away from it all to the sound of Elliott Smith's beautiful voice

Sweet Dreams

first the mic then a half cigarette

singing cathy's clown

that's the man that she's married to now

that's the girl that he takes around town

she appears composed, so she is, i suppose

who can really tell?

she shows no emotion at all

stares into space like a dead china doll

i'm never gonna know you now, but i'm gonna love you anyhow

now she's done and they're calling someone

such a familiar name

i'm so glad that my memories remote

'cos i'm doing just fine hour to hour, note to note

here it is the revenge to the tune

"you're no good,

you're no good you're no good you're no good"

can't you tell that it's well understood

i'm never gonna know you now, but i'm gonna love you anyhow

i'm here today and expected to stay on and on and on

i'm tired

i'm tired

looking out on the substitute scene

still going strong

XO, mom

it's ok, it's alright, nothing's wrong

tell mr. man with impossible plans to just leave me alone

in the place where i make no mistakes

in the place where i have what it takes

i'm never gonna know you now, but i'm gonna love you anyhow

i'm never gonna know you now, but i'm gonna love you anyhow

i'm never gonna know you now, but i'm gonna love you anyhow

-Waltz #2
