I wish I knew how to talk
Instead I use ink
I wrote you
in big bold red letters and all
And I gave it to you,
At the skating rink.
And you winked
We met at the home coming dance
You had make up on
In your dress you had this stance
That would have any man
Cross leged pants
But it was I that took you home
It was me and me alone
We did what we thought was right
Oh how I remember that night
We argued over something that was petty
And I was all ready
She told me to quit
Then she admits
She's pregnant
And she wants to go steady
And move in all her shit
She don't know what a stove is
Or how to make spaghetti
…… and we're having a baby
…..and I'm loving it
Then we're mom and dad
This would be the best time in life I will ever have
When you're there you don't know that
Till something comes along that is bad
You look back at
Those times you had
……..and you laugh
…..wanting to go back in the past
To slow it down
In slow mo
With all the knowledge you know now
And now you know
If you could tell yourself so
Change how the whole thing goes
Where me and you
Don't make it through
I'd patch us together with gorilla glue
If the shoe fit
The mortar and brick
Elbow grease and spit
Can build our home
We'll do it on our own
Can't know one tell us what to do
Baby here's our que
If we can only communicate
Before it's to late
For heaven's sake
May miss out on something great
Don't mess with what the fall leaves
You take in your rake
And play the stakes
Odds are half and half we get the eyes of the snake
With the ace of spades
You should appreciate
What I say
Cause problems lay in wait
I'll give you a heads up
It takes a lot of luck
Balance and negotiate
When the punches come you duck
Have money saved
So you can get away
From what ever place
You may distaste
Accelerate
Your pending fate
It will all leave you with hate
And your mental state
In haste
Fishing at the lake
Is what now offers grace
As a peaceful way
Challenge is making it stay.
