Book I Never Read

(album: Magic City Hippies - 2013)

Too much distance, too much to digest
The things I think about you I invented in my head
And when there's no resistance with you undressed
Everyone was leaving so I threw you on my bed
And I know I should forget it, I never should have said it
Superficial fetish, I can't seem to edit
Looking for a medic, a book I never read it
Some people just don't get it

Ya know I left to get coffee you're asleep in my bed
Things that you taught me from a book I never read
When I'm holding your body, I know you're well bred
Kiss me in the morning and I'll be misled

I've been letting my heart roam
Still have yet to find a home
I feel it in my bones, I'm not just stoned
Searched the catacombs, I found you now you're gone
I want to get you on
The phone

But no
Gotta let it go, Gotta let it go

But no
Gotta let it go, Gotta let it go

I watched you through the kitchen as you biked away
Made up my decision and I let it stay with a
Heavy heart healthy men had tried to lift
Hardened by the booze, and hungry for a shift
Although the letter was confusing, I don't want to use it
Tt's better that I'm choosing, I'll probably end up losing
Tt's crazy what I'm doing, foolish at best
Pictures I can't shake, the rising of your chest
The rising of your chest

But no
Gotta let it go, Gotta let it go

But no
Gotta let it go, Gotta let it go
