You and Your Bright Ideas

I refuse to talk about time

I shake myself loose and lay me out to dry

I won’t be governed

By hands not of my own

I’ve lain there so silently

And felt them way too long

I would like you to get the feeling I felt when I wrote this

You could win; it won’t happen

Anyway, truth is

This is how I feel

I’ve shown some short resentment to you and your bright ideas

With the sky about to break

Bet I could change its mind

I’m convinced the sun wants nothing more to show than shine

On things I’ve done for you

Things you and your bright ideas made me do

By the way, you can have your knife back

The wounds are healing nicely, thank you

That is unfair to say

But the sky looks charcoal

And I’ve got none but hope

And in anticipation of the sun

I’ve pulled off all my clothes

I would like you to get the feeling that I felt when you kissed me

The sun had just come up and the breeze picked up the city

It won’t rain and if I keep on feeling this way, you will win

It can’t happen

Anyway, truth is

This is how I feel

I’ve shown some short resentment to you and your Bright ideas

With the sky about to break, I could change its mind

I’m convinced the sun wants nothing more to show than shine

On these things I’ve done for you

That you and your bright ideas made me do

I would like you to get the feeling I felt when you left me

Like all of the world just chewed me up

Without knowing where to spit me

Really, it won’t rain, but if I keep on feeling this way

You will win and I can’t let that happen

Anyway truth is, this is how

I feel. I’ve shown some short resentment to you and your bright ideas

With the sky about to break, I could change its mind

I’m convinced the sun wants nothing more to show than shine

Anyway truth is, this is how I feel

I’ve shown some short resentment to you and your bright ideas

With the sky about to break, bet I could change its mind

I’m convinced the sun wants nothing more to show than shine

On these things I’ve done for you

These things I’ve done for you

That you and your bright ideas made me do
