Paroles de I Was Hoping
as we were talking outside it was cold we were shivering yet warmed by
the subject matter my wife is in the next room we've been having
troubles you know please don't tell her or anyone but I need to talk
to somebody you say "wouldn't it be a shame if I knew how great I was
five minutes before I died i'd be filled with such regret before I
took my last breath" and I said "you're willing to tell me this now
and you're not going to die any time soon" and I said I haven't been
eating chicken or meat or anything and you said yes but you've been
wearing leather and laughed and said we're at the top of the food
chain and yes you're still a fine woman and I cringed
I was hoping I was hoping we could heal each other
I was hoping I was hoping we could be raw together
we left the restaurant where the head waiter (in his 60's) said
"good-bye sir thank you for your business sir you're successful and
established sir and we like the frequency with which you dine here
sir and your money" and when I walked by they said "thank you too
dear" I was all pigtails and cords and there was a day when I
would've said something like "hey dude I could buy and sell this
place so kiss it" I too once thought I was owed something
I was hoping I was hoping we could challenge each other
I was hoping I was hoping we could crack each other up
I too thought that when proved wrong I lost somehow I too once
thought life was cruel it's a cycle really you think i'm withdrawing
and guilt tripping you I think you're insensitive and I don't feel
heard and I said do you believe we are fundamentally judgemental?
fundamentally evil? and you said yes I said I don't believe in
revenge in right or wrong good or bad you said "well what about the
man that I saw handcuffed in the emergency room bleeding after
beating his kid and she threw a shoe at his head. I think what he did
was wrong and I would've had a hard time feeling compassion for him"
I had to watch my tone for fear of having you feel judged
I was hoping I was hoping we could dance together
I was hoping I was hoping we could be creamy together.
