It's like hello, and it's like hey like,
"Hey, wait a minute, wait a sec.."
I didn't think there was gonna be a part two
But you've left an indelible mark, and that's hard to argue
It is hard to claw through, and it's hard to part with
On a Thursday afternoon, leg crossed on a park bench
A pen is in the hand, straight scribblin' nonsense
'til the words make rhymes and I'm back on the offense
And, lady, you are in for a rare treat -
I've removed my cleats from the tops of your bare feet
With skin torn and peeled, I am but a coarse heel,
Humbled at the notion of the well-guarded force-field
That I managed to slip by a couple of times
When there were high hopes the smiles would last longer
But I've come to realize,
Trust is one of those things making the guards of the force-field stand a little stronger..
And now see, what really bends my strings
Is that we're both apart of this social networking thing,
In where a simple sentence gets the other party hot
'Cause a few too many cooks can spoil a good pot
Well, that's what I've gathered, at least -
Aside from certain things you've written that are glaringly obvious to me:
I know that I'm the roots wrapped around your slender frame
That you want to cut cathartically as soon as can be
But look, I'm try'na beat a dead horse deader
With a faulty antenna that don't get high-def.
I digress, to do what I think I do best
'Cause I've already lost a great deal of self-respect
I'm a worn-out welcome, and I know I can't stay
But I'll still pay if we go to breakfast today
Besides that, I don't know what else to say
Except I'm sorry that I ever even got in your way.
