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
