Every Night

Coming home on a cold Autumn night
Tired from another rough night at work
A beer, some tunes and I'll be alright
Until I go back to playing store clerk
I'm alone now, there's no one in sight
Then I picture you and get a sly smirk
A song comes on, two lovers combine
Thinking of you makes me wish you were here
Sometimes I pretend that you are mine
Which goes to show you the power of beer
Sometimes I pretend everything's fine
Hopelessly hoping to hide from my fear
Past the shade comes a shimmering light
Unable to sleep I try to doze off
A fantasy, two lovers unite
Enjoying a slow and passionate boff
The fantasy, a dream takes to flight
Your figure beneath me holds me aloft

AWAKE!

A whiff of reality returns
And I'm yanked to the ground out of your arms
The emptiness within my heart burns
Incurable by Tums or Lucky Charms
My heart accepts only what it earns
And awaits yours with wide open arms
The dream is over, I still can't sleep
This fantasy land should be swept away
I must avoid getting in too deep
Passionate thoughts may become my minds prey
The mountain I climb might be too steep
The thought alone could be more than I weigh
Is it wrong to think of loving you?
But that's all it is, an innocent thought
Ignoring love from your point of view
And hoping to catch the one that I sought
In my hands love resembles bamboo
Despite all I've learned, no lesson was taught
