Scrap Time 2.0

SCRAP TIME

[verse 1]
can i tell you it hurts
to be on your list
just another of a thousand items
that you have to do
i can see it's true

you fill up your life
with so much shit
that when i call
it always goes to voicemail
just another fail


[chorus]
i want to be more
and i want to mean more
yes i need to be more than
'drop off the laundry and go the store'

Why do I take
oh why do i take
why do i take
your scrap time?

why can't i mean
why can't i mean
as much to you
as you mean to me?


[verse 2]
do you realize that i cry
when i'm all alone
like your scorned little dog
begging at the door
how can you ignore?

so i'll write you a song
maybe you'll listen now
to what this cruel neglect does to me
I hope you feel guilty


[chorus]
i want to be more
and i want to mean more
yes i need to be more than
'drop of the laundry and go to the store'

Why do I take
oh why do i take
why do i take
your scrap time?

why can't i mean
why can't i mean
as much to you
as you mean to me?


(musical interlude)

[chorus]
i want to be more
and i want to mean more
yes i need to be more than
'rewrite my essay and read Sir Thomas More'

i just can't stop
i just can't stop
making my heart long to be with you

so i will keep on
i will keep on
savoring scrap time with you

Gray

Gray

(v1)
Midnight in London
Eighteen ninety three
tucked away from prying eyes
worshiping beauty

I was so earnest
you were so pale
as I fingered dancing curls
with a trembling exhale

I earned your laughter
with some offhand witty phrase
and you crept into my blood
with your opulent gaze


(chorus)
No one could see what you had hidden away
stashed in your closet, painted to betray
your gilded armor was to cover the decay
and I watched those blue eyes I adored fade to gray


(v2)
Midday in London,
Eighteen ninety five
the gavel crashed straight down
in an eloquent nosedive

your father reddened
but we never felt the shame
the wind was hot with whispers
they dared not speak its name

I can't remember
how I used to make you smile
you ask me not to try
you'd like to cry for a while


(chorus)
No one could see what you had hidden away
stashed in your closet, painted to betray
your gilded armor was to cover the decay
and I watched those blue eyes I adored fade to gray


I couldn't see what you had hidden away
stashed in your closet, painted to betray
your gilded armor was to cover the decay
and I watched those blue eyes I adored fade to gray
