Cherry limeade

Waves washing over me. Tripping over the memories I cannot keep.

You and I could maybe keep each other company?

Laying on my bed. Already a drink or two into me

Waiting for your call. When I trip would you catch my fall?

————

“My favorite drinking buddy. I heard your feeling my same shade of blue

Drop your plans head on over. Well be each other’s biggest fans

Well, don’t you know. I feel the same as you. I miss my life and I miss the way I’d lie

I wanna go back to all the happiness I could buy.

Don’t second guess, wear your favorite party dress.

Bring some tunes or maybe two.

Bring the cherries I’ll bring the limes

When i arrive there is a silence in the air

I ask if maybe she has something she wants to share

I have nothing to say. All my thoughts keep me awake

Same cries, same lies, a baby, and I’m afraid I miss the life I had last night.

Don’t you think you could help me forget? Don’t you think you could just drink with me a while?

Cherry vodka for you

I’ll take a beer and a lime

Play your favorite song, but not that one, don’t play that one either.

I don’t wanna think about my father.

I don’t wanna think about my mother

This was the song she played

A lot of time in between. 20-something years if I’m being keen.

Making up for lost time. Let’s see what we can do in a night.

That weight on your chest since a child has been making you feel depressed, but I got an idea let me explain, let me suggest

Why don’t you run away with me?

Leave this town behind and get in my car

Putcha baby in the back and well never look back.

How long until one of us gets betrayed

Cherry limeade?

Saving our wrists from cuts and burns

Cruising down the highways in July

Got no job

Got no plans

Snow cones for the road?

————

Tigers blood

Blunt on the beach

Summer was so fun

We only had one till it was done

Sweet and sour

Cherry limeade

Blowing out our drums from the rhythm

Stuck inside this rainbow-colored prism. Can we,

Escape but lord knew you were leaving before me.

Something i might need, but you took away from me

Cherry limeade

Now you’re here, and this hasn’t been your year.

Madly in love with the idea to disappear

You still keep a frown and love to bring me down.

Take my blood

take my skin

I’ll help you sew yourself together with my own broken bobby pin

————

Once my best friend. A lost soul at sea Crying to the moon telling her All the secrets that she’ll keep.

Smothering those blue eyes filled with fire. Cover up the tears with black liner you know, your face tells us everything you don’t want us to know

long dyed jet black hair like a Corvette. how i wish I could meet the you that didn’t see me as a threat.

Now i know

I was drowning deep and i couldn’t fight it.

Not when i had you next to me who loved it so much to invite it.

I hope you can find happiness within your own.

I’ll find mine out on the open road.

And on windy nights i pray you are okay
