Sometimes I just want to get sick
to be sick because I miss you
Sometimes I catch myself picking
up the phone to dial you
It's unbelievable to me that you
won't be on the other end
Just a dial tone...
Sometimes I dream of you
but I don't get any sleep
Sometimes I remember
what we said sometimes I don't
It's inconceivable to me that
I'm talking to myself
Just a dial tone...
Sometimes I think I'm going to be next
how could I be here when you're gone
Sometimes I think about the things
I'm going to miss when I'm gone
It isn't possible that this will all end
with a dial tone.
I used to talk to my mom about leaving, always about going somewhere else or
being somewhere else. She always said that the reality is different from the
fantasy. She would know; she did the same thing when she was young.
I asked her once if she would apply for an Italian passport, she could, and if she could I probably could. I had planned on going to Italy for a summer or a year and working. I probably would have stayed for good. She said No.
I realized after she passed away (but never before) that she didn't say
those things to discourage me. She just didn't want me to leave. She never
wanted me to leave, but she would never have stopped me. She never stopped
me.
The nurses kept saying how much I look like you. I remember one day I turned to look at you and I smiled and said, "Thanks for the compliment."
You said, "Me too."
I love you
I held your hand
I have to go
You kissed my hand
Don't go
I smiled and said
I don't want to go
You smiled and said
Then don't
I kissed your forehead
I have to go
You smiled and said
I know
I cried in the taxi
Let me out
I waved to dad
And said nothing
Dear Jack White
I can't believe you went out with Renee Zellweger
But then, I'm a fan of irony and it is kind of funny
I love the album, it makes me want to sit quietly
(irony)
My favorite is The Hardest Button To Button
I didn't get it when I first heard it
I get it now
...The Hardest Button To Button...
Push My Button
I'm a baby doll
push it and watch me cry
I even have a pull cord
I eat like Baby Alive
push my button
I'm a baby doll
push it and watch me cry
I know where it is
just like every ventriloquist
I'm my own dummy
watch me yodel while drinking water
(who am I kidding, I don't drink water)
Push my button
I'm a baby doll
push it at watch me cry
It's right there at the center of my back
right beneath my shoulder blade
the house of the broken heart
I planned to bring the bottle of wine
I coveted from France and stuffed in
my small bag wrapped in laundry
I was going to bring it for Christmas
I should have brought it for Christmas
but I remembered that wine
gave you headaches, especially red wine.
I am coming home again this year
You will not be there
I am bringing my bottle of wine
I coveted from France and stuffed in
my small bag wrapped in laundry
I will drink your glass for you
white tea & ginger
reminds me
of you
reminds me
of France
reminds me of things
I most love
the things that you taught me
white tea & ginger
a memory elixir
reminds me
of you
reminds me
of Paris
white tea & ginger
I wear on my skin
to take a walk with you
to take a walk through the Loire with you
white tea & ginger
