First Step
(album: Etc.)
Did you ever have one of these days?
This is a day like any other day.
You are free to wake up and shave.
Soapy hands fumbling on porcelain.
Hot, good coffee, and a good, good book.
Bicycle! Bicycle!
Breathing easier now.
Tear the roof off your day.
No one´s coming over.
It ain´t written so don´t try to read it.
Smell the hot rain on the street.
Could be love. Could be alcohol.
Cup my hands around your face.
A little frame. A lot of pain.
I can tell the tears from the rain.
One tastes sweet, the other plain.
Breathing easier now.
Tear the roof off your day.
No one´s coming over.
It ain´t written so don´t try to read it.
And who am I to think
I could hang such a precious life
on a clever line?
You´re in all the books I read.
A hundred pages out of reach.
And so I pull myself.
(Crawl to my?) feet, hit the street.
It´ll take some time
to learn the lesson of the fall
and begin another climb.
Breathing easier now.
Tear the roof off your day.
No one´s coming over.
It ain´t written so don´t try to read it.
