Array ( [sid] => 157047 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Coping Mechanisms [time] => 2010-01-28 21:11:34 [hometext] => About regretting leaving someone [bodytext] => street lights wave goodbye
my head resting on the window
learned about airplanes with my hands
collapsing on top of cargo

where i am going there are no songs about heartbreak
my feet placed firmly in the sand
the water rushes up to taste your skin
then it runs away again...
like scared children

some clog pain with alcohol and cork their bottles good
some exercise their right to hurt and tighten their hoods
I kicked all of the puddles on streets wet from rain
retracing the steps I found you were my bane
so now i'm leaving you

city lights flash hello
open box discounts they glow and they grow
one thousand faces fly by like a montage
but there is no music

occasionally a "hi", a "hello", an "excuse me"
the lack of genuine people starts to amuse me
the laughs dissipate and fall flat to the ground
as the cold blows to me "no one is around"

some clog pain with alcohol and cork their bottles good
some exercise their right to hurt and tighten their hoods
I kicked all of the puddles on streets wet from rain
retracing the steps I found you were my bane
so now i'm leaving you
but your leaving me too

my regrets are regretting ever letting
my mind choose to leave you
and now that i'm a million miles away
i realize i need you
i always needed you

some clog pain with alcohol and cork their bottles good
some exercise their right to hurt and tighten their hoods
some try hard to escape and leave their regrets behind
but sometimes...
sometimes you learn what you went out to find, you already swore off in your mind
I kicked all of the puddles on streets wet from rain
retracing the steps I found you weren't my bane
but i left you
and you left me too
and i let you
what am i to do
but regret you
I let you go too soon.

Always a tough pill to swallow leaving you wondering what could have been. This was a joy to read and it could be a song to be honest. Well written.
