I will soon and forever be changing always…

September’s already over

And I lost my 4-leaf clover

October’s on its way

And now I have to stay

I was looking for a lover

But he turned into a cover

My true feelings were lost

I found them at high cost

Here’s the passing of yet another season

And I still haven’t found one good reason

For the jumble of my life; the state of my affairs

I’ve only been playing musical chairs

There’s too much to reflect on and even more to do

Memories are rushing up in colors of green and blue

So here’s to the breeze

The blood on the tracks

To guys who always say it best

Yesterday’s love becomes tomorrow’s love

And somewhere in between innocence is lost

Is it possible to leave behind what you’ve always known

And somehow move on with your whole soul

And what if you came back

I don’t know why but I can’t answer the phone

My ability to comprehend has been working overtime

I’m going through my life tearing away the grime

There will never be a time or place

That can make love’s sorrow dissipate

But I’m still moving on 

In every little way

There’s never a point in asking why

I’m always left out to dry

I’ve cried so much before

There’s no reason to anymore

I’ll probably just give up trying 

Because no one else will give up lying
