maybe i could stop by, you’ll look at my bike, you know that chain won’t stay on
“unchain my heart,” i’d say in an unironic way, but you’ve heard that a hundred times before
i see you through the shop side door like when we met last summer
i remember you adjusting my seat, and your hands touching me
i never asked anything of you, i never asked anything, never
only if you loved me, better
only if you loved me,
only if you loved me, better
then her
the temperature dropped another degree, it will slowly fall, to absolute zero
and you’d think by now, i’d know for sure, but i’ve grown pretty numb so i’ll wait, i’ll wait. when i dream you still love me
until all motion stops at absolute zero, i’d say there’s still a chance.

i don’t know if i want to go stay at the cabin anymore
too many memories, too many memories of you
there is the bed where you last held me
there is the bench where you last smiled at me
and there is the canoe where we last tried to conceive
maybe it’d be better to not be reminded
maybe it’d be better to forget
but how do i forget, a love like yours?
and maybe a young dennis hopper, would be there by the fire, sayin’, “man you can’t deny her, you’re still caught up in desire, get her on that ole’ telephone wire, and do what it takes. don’t let your love expire, you’ve gotta go out on the high wire, let your passion burn like fire.”
dennis loved to speak in words that rhymed, but i can’t see that they apply to me
so i don’t think i’ll go back to that cabin anymore.

oh vega
i remember when we rode our bikes five miles out of town to the field where we watched the clouds
your fingers smelled of grease, you smelled a little bit of sweat.
oh vega, vega
oh my god, oh my god! the birds started spelling out your name
you said, “don’t be a dope, mike, birds always fly in a ‘v.’ ” oh vega, vega
‘cause what do i know? i just moved here from new york city, where the birds are all on the ground,
and you were all i had. oh vega, vega.

she's gone

she was so incomprehensible, so incomprehensible
she didn’t dance, she seldom laughed, she never cried
she wasn’t the first girl to dump me, but she dumped me on the phone and it brought out all these old feelings
who would love me and just drop me unless i didn’t deserve love. unless i didn’t deserve love
i guess it shows i was unloveable, you left because i was unloveable
you’re gone, you’re gone, you’re gone; you’re gone away. i just don’t understand
it’s gone, it’s gone, it’s gone; love’s gone away. love’s a lot like insanity, anyway
a couple of photos, a broken boxspring, that’s all that’s left of us
it’s fine, i’m fine, it’s time to move on...
