Body and Soul

I need a break from you
I need to go far away from you
You say the time is not now
I say it's long overdue
You act like there is no issue
like we are cool
but you know this isn't true
Oh, how I hate to argue;
could you just be you?!
Take me back to those times,
times when we had the glue
and didn't need the screw
times when our fights were few
and you were you
Take me back to those times
when I knew more of you.
Dear body, please be you.
