Silver Lining Mind

“So much for distractions

On the silver lining mind

I was drinking wine and reminiscing fine

Until your image was too much

So what happened to the what-ifs in the meantime

You were beautiful in your own space

All the time doesn’t seem like such a waste

But I’ve grown tired in these crowded rooms

So what happened to the distractions

On the silver lining mind

When I’m drunk and overthinking you’re all I can find

Because of small interactions

And inner workings of the mind

Sparkling buildings and too fine dining

This isn’t the life I lead

So tell me why I seclude myself

In rooms full of people I call my friends

While I dream of you in your own space

And tell me why there’s glass cups on rooftops

When drunk people don’t know the difference

So tell me why I get so sad

Looking down the road

To find the lights in a line

Do you remember that time

When all we had were distractions

On the silver lining mind?”
