La Penita

sitting here like forty ounces

waiting to be drunk

I always seem to want what I don't want

it's more than I can handle

still I want another shot

even without it, five minutes from now

I'll find I can't stand up

on the edge, I've been there

and it's just as crowded as back home

though the waves are strong

it's easy enough to swim on back to the shore

sometimes, couldn't my eyes just stay at home?

'cause sometimes

seeing doesn't see me through

someday maybe someday

couldn't we take all our mirrors down

'cause sometimes seeing doesn't see me through

I'd love to believe you

when I say always and all ways :)

but from what I've seen

you can't see me through

there's a question in your head

though you're thinking

" not this time"

don't be afraid to ask

don't be afraid to care
