Scenes From A Separation

No I'm not sayin I'm lazy, I just,

 take more time to digress.
And of more than three ways I empty 
my days, now that you're not around 
to impress.

Those forming, morning birds.

They don't do things by thirds.


And your voice sounds just like it's
 reading, from a birthday telegram.
It says you're looking a little

am.
Last year escaped by the window, and
 this year's going for a song.

No we weren't together forever,

but then what the hell does that

Yeah I was light headed unfettered 
not falsely, claimed to know the 
dimensions of love.
I was prone to wild exaggeration, 
sayin things I had no concept of.

oh how quick did the calendar grow?
And right now I'm seven years wiser,

I stop to play with this cat on the

worth mourning for.
And I'm feeling just fine but I'm 
taking my time, cause I know that 
you're worth mourning for.
