I went searching for the answers
To the questions they called important
But oh all I found,
Was confusion at the end of some man’s political rant.
But then I found you in the corner of the coffee shop I was playing at.
And afterwards, we talked for hours
All the while hoping, that goodnight, wouldn’t be our last.
Serendipity,
Thinking not hating is the same as loving
Because it feels alright when the phone is buzzing
So you pick up your head and you pay no mind
To what they’re calling difficult times
Hey, you got your way
And I got mine
Goodnight, I’ll see you soon
When I can see again.
I guess I could use a friend, on those summer nights
When I feel like telling who, what, when, and where I’ve been.
I’ve been all over, beholding beauties, horror, and now opportunity.
To see, what just don’t exist
When you’re alone but now I see
Thinking not hating is the same as loving
Because it feels alright when the phone is buzzing
So you pick up your head and pay no mind
To what they’re calling difficult times
Hey, you got your way
And I got mine
It’s just you and I
Two little rats, stuck in this race
But when I see your face
I don’t feel so lost. Can you get me out, of this concrete maze?
I do not feel in control
Of anything happening around me
And why should I be when life is unpredictable?
Like the ever growing branches of a tree
Thinking not hating is the same as loving
Because it feels alright when the phone is buzzing
So you pick up your head and pay no mind
To what they’re calling difficult times
Hey, you got your way
And I got mine
