Second Thoughts

Written March 1998

well, I got that letter that you sent to me,
and you sounded better, like you used to be,
I was reminded of way back when,
you know I thought about it, then I thought again..

you and your lover must’ve had some words,
now you haven’t been speaking, I guess you haven’t been heard,
I was almost grateful just to be your friend,
I thought about it, then I thought again…
+++ I thought about all the ways you made me laugh,
+++ started lookin’ for you at the bottom of a drawer in the corner of a photograph,
+++ and I can almost hear you singin’ flat,
+++ yeah, I thought about this and that,
+++++ and how it’s been a long, long time…

I read that letter that you sent to me,
like it was one more chapter in our little history,
but will I hold you before it ends?
you know I thought about it, then I thought again..

I read that letter that you wrote to me,
like it was one last chapter in our little history,
but will I hold you before it ends?
you know I thought about it, then I thought again…
