skinny girl, I like to think
of all the love I coulda' gave you
Missed my chance, I must have blinked
When our dramatic scene was playing
And Goddamn, I feel like shit
But I feel like dancing
And I kinda feel like crying in the rain
I feel like trying to keep warm in a snow storm
At least I'd know for sure I was out of place
Hey there girl, I wish you knew
All the pretty girls around me
But none of them smile like you do,
when you've got your arms around me
Well it doesn't lay my fondest fears to rest,
To see you with your ring and wedding dress
At my funeral
And Goddamn I feel like shit
But I feel like dancing
And I feel like planting roses in the yard
I feel like naming all the books I'll never write
I'm nothing that could save you girl, and I'm nothing
I just keep walking
I just keep walking
I just keep walking down a road that takes me nowhere,
until I start to feel like nothing at all
of all the love I coulda' gave you
Missed my chance, I must have blinked
When our dramatic scene was playing
And Goddamn, I feel like shit
But I feel like dancing
And I kinda feel like crying in the rain
I feel like trying to keep warm in a snow storm
At least I'd know for sure I was out of place
Hey there girl, I wish you knew
All the pretty girls around me
But none of them smile like you do,
when you've got your arms around me
Well it doesn't lay my fondest fears to rest,
To see you with your ring and wedding dress
At my funeral
And Goddamn I feel like shit
But I feel like dancing
And I feel like planting roses in the yard
I feel like naming all the books I'll never write
I'm nothing that could save you girl, and I'm nothing
I just keep walking
I just keep walking
I just keep walking down a road that takes me nowhere,
until I start to feel like nothing at all

This is good. Have music to it? We could maybe work it out this weekend if you come. I'm thinking about seeing this ten minute play that Tory is in on Friday night. I dunno. We'll see.
"Well it doesn't lay my fondest fears to rest/

I think that's my favorite line. It evokes this "what coulda been" factor.
Sheesh this is taking forever.
I wrote a new tune and added/subtracted from what we turned this into. I think it's sweet. Almost Rogers and Hammerstein.
