Without You

I.. I can't wait
No I don't think 
I’ll ever make it 
Another day or two
Without you

Don't need no microphone 
To shut up and say
I love you baby
Don’t need no driver’s card
To hide away 
In the backyard 

Killing hours
Washing dishes
For the neighborhood 
Picking flowers
For the funeral
Of my bachelorhood

I.. I can't wait
No I don't think 
I’ll ever make it 
Another day or two
Without you

I treated you 
Better than now
But I had no ambition but
Mellowing out
And if you see my
Smile slowing down
Remember you’re the girl
Who showed me 
How to meow

Painting a picture
Of a memory 
Of tomorrows
Up in the morning
Picking poblanos
For the rellenos 

I.. I can't wait
No I don't think 
I’ll ever make it 
Another day or two
Without you

Some days I 
Dress from a lost and found 
Of everything I bought and forgot
I'm a dollar store candle 
I’m drowning in liquid
Wicked is the thought of 
Letting you down 
One night I’ll get 
Something right 
And never doubt it 
So long as your head’s
On my leg
Reading books by a 
Cloud of incense
With a couple of canines
Breathing their poetry
Into existence 

Don’t need no
Week away
To remember
The sadness
Before you came
Don’t need no 
Rubber band
To keep your hand
Around my hand

Maybe a midnight meal
To chase these
Bottles and blues away
Don’t need no telephone to
Hang it up and say
I love you babe
