A Little Longer

Walking down the street You hope to find someone to meet That will change your life forever When you catch his eye You look inside another woman's lover And you can't seem to look away So you stay a little longer To find another fix To make the hole seem better A lonely but bearable life When a life is lost Flowers die, babies cry A spirit flies back home But a part of you fades It's something that happens to every soul And nothing can fill it just the same So you stay a little longer To find another fix To make the hole seem better A lonely but bearable life When you sit alone At a coffee shop Only a latte to fill the other spot You reflect back on your life A lonely soul and no one stayed to fight with you The only man that's there Sits upon the lonely chair And says "come child for I forgive you." So you stay a little longer To find another fix To make the hole seem better A lonely but bearable life THIS ONE'S A SONG, THOUGH YOU PROBABLY ALREADY REALIZED THAT. I HAVE BEEN WRITING A LOT OF POEMS LATELY, SO I PICKED UP MY GUITAR AND PLUCKED AWAY. IT'S ALL VERY SIMPLE, BUT THE LYRICS DO SOUND BETTER WITH ME PLAYING ALONG. xox courtney
