Looking Back To Go Forward

 

The places I been

Still there

Little worse for wear

Looking like

They need a fresh coat of paint

And some tender loving care

 

From the hands

That already gave everything

Sewed their name’s

Into their underwear

Left love letters

In between the pages

Of No Mean City and The Little Things

 

Saying you will have my heart

Forever

Be gentle, be tender

When you are killing

Your sworn enemies

So that I can love

The unbroken parts

Like you do

In a teenage love song

When you are carefree

 

Spinning on the dance floor

Asking for it

Asking for one more

And the empty heads

Bang together

Like the empty bottles

Crated

Ready to be washed

Disinfected

Removing any trace

Of last weekend

So that we can do it all again

 

And if you can learn

Anything from the past

Have pity on the pitiful

You are not as Original

As you think

Most everything been there

Done that

In some way shape or form

 

And looking back

To go forward

You could learn a thing or two

From the broken soldiers

At the thrift shop

Lined up in the window

Ready to defend

Her honor

Once again
