Company

So many old mementos
Love’s souvenirs from each trip I took
You know, I only keep them to remind myself
To have evidence that I’ve been loved
And I wonder if the price I pay to keep them is far too high
Cos I get no where when I go through them
It just wastes my time
Yeah I wonder if the price I pay for these memories is too high
Cos even after time's huge discount
I’m still paying for some truth in your lies

I’m just sitting home alone again
It's one of them dark lonely nights
You know, one of them nights I get time to think about you
Yep, when you sneak into the crevices and drown out my mind

I’m starting to think I’m digging a deeper ditch
This time I won’t be able to get out
Then again maybe the worst of my worries
Is just that I need to be held

And I’m listening hard for knocks on the door
Or the phone to ring for me
Turns out everyone else got over heart ache
With long drudging days and no time to think
Or a replacement to hold themselves up
From desperation's honed teeth
Yeah but some of us dove in to the water
And got pulled underneath

I’m starting to think I’m digging a deeper ditch
This time I won’t be able to get out
Then again maybe the worst of my worries
Is just that I need to be held

I’m just sitting home alone again
Twiddling my thumbs
After all the fighting for myself
Basking in misery is what I’ve succumbed to
But there's the humming coming from the computer tower
The distant tick tock
The inaudible words that shower
From the TV two rooms down the hall
And the growling of the drag car revving down the street
Fusing with the unpreventable solitude
And the swishing of my feet
Yeah, they're all here to keep me company
Basking in the heat.

Who cares if you're lonely or not
If you care to stop by my place
I’m getting tired of the old monochrome
I’d like to see a new face
And the busy bees of the day are leaving
As the sun nestles behind the trees
It’s getting quiet and lonely here
I could really use some company

Cos I’m wading in the dark waters
Surrounded by a mass of dorsal fins
I’d just like to get them off my mind
Take a deep breath and learn how to swim
I want to climb out of the water and throw you back
Throw all the mementos in
And watch the attack
Watch as each memory of you and me
Is ferociously ripped to shreds
Watch as you are devoured
With all your promises

I think I’m digging a deeper ditch
Only this time I won’t be able to get out
Then again maybe the worst of my worries
Is just that I need to be held
But you know that’s about as bad as it gets it's like willingly diving back in
And since I’m just bout dry now
I won’t get wet again
