Thank You For Failing

Is this even the kind of thing you dream of?

I can’t picture such sentimentality

But I also can’t imagine you

Planning anything with rationality

Now calamity, that’s more your speciality

And if we’re talking confession

You was special to me

I felt so old when I was young

Desperate to get a move on

You seemed to need it slow

I took that as opportunity

To be proved wrong

But you helped open something up

That had been rotting deep

And collecting dust

Just a shame you left it too late

Plus you got other weighty loves

That’ll never satiate

Cat and mouse

I’d pounce, you’d bounce

Come round my house

Sniff half an ounce

Laugh in the garden

Kick the freeloaders out

And still avoid anything more than a maybe

That shit will drive you crazy

Now here I sit

With my ring and my baby

Still wondering if you was scared

Or just lazy

It did amaze me

How you got me so brazey

I reminisce that missed kiss

And it don’t faze me

I wish for you all the brilliance

A kosher heart skip can bring

Or maybe it’s true, that just ain’t you

And you couldn’t wish for a worst thing

Whatever it is you’re begging

Whatever brings you that buzz

I hope it turns up for you like it did for me

I’m just sorry it weren’t between us
