[Lyric] "Semi-Desposable Love" 03.07.04
This lyric is one of a rare few that I actually performed at an open thanks to the guitar work of a friend.
Semi-Disposable Love
The simplest choices are always the hardest to change
I tune to your frequency, crackling, just out of range
Seems the further I am from your tower, the shorter the climb
Despite your perspective we both wait the same length of time
Does the size of the heart in a man determine his worth?
But even orphans and kings are bound by the terms of their birth
Now how can I call you my flower, if you never bloom?
How I can I dare let you in, if I ain’t got the room?
(chorus)
My semi-disposable love
Folds away for easy storage
I’m praying for an ounce of courage
To fulfill the promise I pledge
While your bankrupt attention
Spans this burning bridge
You can’t use a meter to measure intangible proof
An obvious lie will trump the impossible truth
When I haven’t the strength to charge your dead battery
I’ll offer you warm smiles and overdue flattery
Don’t torture yourself, coz we all have our Kryptonite
Surely Superman had once torn his cape on a satellite
Far be it from me to pass judgment on your big defeat
With patience as ammo I’ll cover a strategic retreat
(Chorus)
Are we still on the same side?
Yes, we’re still on the same side
Its clear but you can’t decide
What it is that you want from me
I’m stuck in the groove of a record that forever spins
The music still plays in my head though the cord’s not plugged in
What kind of princess has lips that don’t ever pout?
I ain’t much of an angel, sick with the demons of doubt
The wounded heart is a ghost who won’t say good-bye
What use are your wings if you never learn how to fly?
No good woman would follow a man without a dream
Yet you come to me, honey, like a raindrop runs to a stream
(Chorus)
Are we still on the same side?
Yes, we’re still on the same side
Its clear but I can’t decide
Who it is I want you to be
