Always Almost

Another day a thousand miles Trashed out on some plane Crashed into you again Old news Scenes go by I'm occupied with Notes I can't sustain Hope this old refrain Breaks loose We were always almost done We lived that way so long I got so used to holding on That letting go somehow felt wrong I wound up sitting at my piano singing blues Chasing a cure for getting over you All these green graffitied walls Have such forgiving hearts They hear my calls And see me fall to pieces I played a Jayhawk eighty eight One basement afternoon So perfect out of tune Moved all of the needles Well worn and well acquainted Damned as demonstrated In a flash the years have passed I never even moved Still sitting at that piano singing blues Close to a cure for getting over you Last I checked this winter's lasted almost 7 years I'm keeping warm by burning all my bridges The beauty of this empty page is Any word can rhyme Played in perfect time and pitches A sky of stars exploded Above lovers getting loaded Me? I'm up all night As I'm compelled to do Sitting at this piano singing blues Close to a cure for getting over One step closer to a cure For getting over you
