Sunsets

Scanning faces in a media town

They were all the same

Checking on every account in their name

I felt like a fish in a big bowl of booze

Swimming in circles baby, all around you

Couldn’t make me a meal

If I gave you a list for the store

You were looking for the sunset

You were looking for someone I do not know

You were quick to ask for change

From the one who’s not the same here anymore

Haky hands and the zipper don’t zip

You’re trying it on but the jacket don’t fit

You’re alone out there

Even when you’re all bundled up

Love is a feeling that lasts for the year

A lifetime of seasons and familiar fear

Once you got what you need

You’re tricked into wanting something more

You were looking for the gold out there

What’s wrong with growing old and good enough?

You were asking all your questions

When the answer wasn’t really all that tough

It’s a feeling I can’t shake

That we’re part of some parade

So I will dance around

And baby, I’ll wave

Until it’s done

You give it all up ‘til you’re naked and wet

Starting from scratch

Full of regret

You’re an infant now

Open those eyes to the world

Some will tell you that it’s God

Some will tell you what you didn’t want to hear

Well, I’m no sunset

I just never felt like it was all that far

I’m no sunset

It’s just nice to feel that way

Before it’s dark
