Array ( [sid] => 56826 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Behind the Split Screen [time] => 2004-07-19 19:51:42 [hometext] => the song i mention is one of John Mayer's 'Split Screen Sadness'....the quote at the bottom is from that song as well.... [bodytext] => Got our song on repeat
Headphones to my ear.
It’s 1:30 in the morning,
I can’t let my parents hear.
It’s been awhile since I’ve seen you
And there is still more time to come.
But one more week won’t kill me
At least I won’t have to act dumb.
Still can’t quite understand
What exactly your words meant
Sad to think I’m hopeful
After how that phone call went.
But then there was that message,
“Who knows? I might be single someday….”
What’s that supposed to mean?
How can I just step out of your way?
Fade out and rewind back
Listening to Dave in your van
Watching your body as you play guitar
The way your toes looked in the sand
Another night of worthless tears
How long will I have to wait?
The sting I face in settling for less
Is the only recognizable trait
I wish you could cry too
I wish you’d let her go
But you like her, you’re happy
I guess that’s all that I should know.
...Don’t let me get away….
