Fine

*link to this being sung at the end of poem*

Your place is empty, the paint’s faded thin
For a few weeks you’re twenty, then the bars’ll let you in  
And are you alone? Have you made any friends?  
I’m not all that busy. Sometimes I just pretend  
 
I try to go out, bought tickets for a show  
but at the last minute decided I don’t want to go alone  
How much I love’s always so disproportionate  
If you made me yours would it be so unfortunate?  
 
How many me’s
Do I have to be  
Til life decides I’m ready  
For the you that won’t leave?
 
And I won’t waste time  
Fitting you in my life  
(But if you come around  
Well I guess that’d be fine)
 
You say the time  
will pass by in the blink of an eye  
Now it’s so quiet  
and you probably don’t even realize  
 
That I can’t wait forever - I ’ll be by your side  
But a home with no center’s just an off-track lonely mine
But just like an ember needs life to survive
Or just like the weather, it changes in time
 
How many me’s  
Do I have to be til  
I decide I don’t need
You to help me fall asleep?  
 
I won’t waste your time  
I still fantasize  
(But if you change your mind, well I guess that’d be fine)
