the Jbird sings best

I don't write these things because I mess up, I don't do it to act cute, I don't do it to gain anything from her or make myself look any which way... I do it because it's the truth.

for you J



as i'm here and growing into my man pants
all i can think of was our last dance
it was mind numbing
but its what i expect
cause it's kinda like you
you got that kind of effect

i'd stare through the window
with each light a different flash
wish i was home
listening to The Clash

i'd think of nights
they'd be visible and starlit
then we'd drive around
IPod says Ill Scarlet

i'd tease all your tunes
though i knew all their meanings
i'd sing out of cue
and i know you'll believe me
when i say that they'd all remind you of me

so keep all your playlists
lets go campin some time
see all the bushed where we pissed,
stand alone in freezing water
pants rolled up tight
the lands gone 
and out of sight
we're cold as hell
and the air's getting thinner
but i know in my mind
that ill be your winner

all those words to hungover to say
letters taking over
and the winner is a 'J'
but fuck all that noise we gotta hear every day
all we need are our notes
and our favorite quotes
cause when i can hear callings like 'hey bay bae'
i know all that matters
is seeing those eyes again
in their best shades of grey

and when ill grow old i can tell you things you need to hear more
get a place with a playground
and nearby is a shore
where a boat would stay by
shitty, unused
but like what you do to me
never abused

cause no matter the forecast
i just know that we'll last
and when the rain comes
ill say my sorries
and stay under my cloud untill your bright and alive once more

and look where i am!
shelves filled with Ramen noodles
and sketch books filled with dumb little doodles
and all i can know thats getting me by 
is doing it for myself
and are soon shared lives

give me a few secs
and something you wont except
will come back for you
to get a better view 
of the lives we deserve when we get older
i know she'll be there
my girl
and ill holding her

my J
