So do the nervous wrecks

Couple off for nervous sex?

Or alternately wordless pecks

That serve to vex

All the troubled boys like me?

'Cause the drinkers and the dancers

And all the lost romancers

Are succumbing to their cancers

'Cause these bottles have the answers



And if you're waitin'

I'll see ya

We'll be onomatopoeia

In the sentence of the summer

And we'll learn to laugh like lovers

And I'll tell you there's no other

In the refuge of bed covers

And though time's been proven feckless

We'll stay young and wreckless



I could lose myself

In someone else

And just forget it's true

But the chasers that i'm kicking back

Seem in pursuit of you 



Darling I've

Tried and tried

What else can I do?



Oh Love,

Sho' 'Nuff

This is it

So just

Call it a day or

Call it a lifetime

I'm done pretending [rewrite the ending]

That you'll be mine [and cancel a lifeline]



And do the lover's trysts

Eer catch up with

Ne'er been kisseds?

Or eternally

Bait and switch

'Cause fate's a bitch

And plans accordingly?

'Cause he's dapper and he's dashing

And all the bars you're crashing

Just grow darker with the passing

Of my hopes everlasting



But if you're waiting

Then I'll see ya

We'll be onomatopoeia

In the sentence of the summer

And we'll only laugh like lovers

And I'll tell you there's no other

In the refuge of bed covers

And though time's been proven feckless

We'll stay young and wreckless



And the breeze will ease 

Through summer trees

And gently hum our names

But the coals upon my fireplace

Will only burn old flames
