as we were talking outside it was cold
we were shivering yet warmed by the the subject matter
my wife is in the next room
we've been having troubles you know
please don't tell her or anyone
but I need to talk to somebody

you said "wouldn't it be a shame if i knew how great i was, five minutes before I died i'd be filled with such regret before I took my last breath" and I said "you're willing to tell me this now and you're not going to die anytime soon."

and I said I haven't been eating chicken or meat or anything and you said
yes, but you've been wearing leather
and laughed and you said we're at the top of the food chain
and yes you're still a fine woman and I cringed

I was hoping I was hoping we could heal each other
I was hoping I was hoping we could be raw together

we left the restraunt where the head waiter in his 60's said "goodbye sir thank you for your business sir you're successful and established sir and we like the frequency of which your dine here sir and your money"
and when I walked by they said "thank you too dear" i was all pigtails and cords
and there was a day when I would've said something like "hey dude I could buy and sell this place so kiss it"
I too once thought I was owed something

I was hoping I was hoping we could challenge each other
I was hoping I was hoping we could crack each other up

I too thought that when proved wrong I lost somehow
I too once thought life was cruel
It's a cycle really you think I'm withdrawing
and guilt tripping you I think you're insensetive
and I don't feel heard
and I said do you believe we are fundamentally judgmntal?
fundamentally evil?
and you said yes
I said I don't believe in revenge in right or wrong good or bad
you said "well what about the man that I saw handcuffed in the emergency room bleeding after beating his kid and she threw a shoe at his head. I think what he did was wrong and I would've had a hard time feeling compassion for him"
I had to watch my tone for fear of having you feel judged

I was hoping I was hoping we could dance together
I was hoping I was hoping we could be creamy together
