taken aback sunday

catefrances

walking through the streets of my town
trying to occupy my mind
listening to music on my headphones
stupidly it’s one of your favourite songs
no matter what it is i’m doing
i just can’t get my head clear of you
the trees bow their branches so invitingly
as if they know what it is i want to do
i ignore their come ons
keep my eyes focussed straight in front
i could cross against the traffic
do an elliott smith
but man that'd take some guts
for now my sunglasses hide the tears
that make me stop and think of you
and what a fucked up life i’m living
as i try to think of what i can do
i do want to stay here
but if given the chance i’d surely leave
so i listen to my music while the city surrounds me
watch the full moon rise above
and do my best to hold on tight
but for what i just don’t know.
