Life Songs
Real-Life Movie Stars
Cameras in traffic lights
make us real-life movie stars
White knights keep reciting
the foolishness that love requires
Stop signs and the footlights
messages kept in the dark
Dances in the moonlight
love bombing of the heart
I miss the space in my head
where the innocence lived
Sandy walks by the bay
where I collected these tears
Then, I gave them away
wasted them on a boy
Put them out on display
in exchange for my joy
My life played out in segments
far from the silver screen
And I'm left with the remnants
somewhere not here, in between
Life, love and the heartache
an added bonus of living
Where success and mistakes
find harmony when they’re singing
