The Dress Song

kira, could you wear a dress
is it so hard to change
from the tired t-shirt and jeans
that you wear everyday
is it a selfish request
is it too sexist of me
to ask the girl that i love
to show off her femininity
it's a thought that i've had on my mind for quite a while
it's not a comment on your beauty at all
it's just a comment on your style
recall the girl that we saw
back at the coffeshop
in that strapless number
black with small, white dots
punctuated by the small
pink carnation on her chest
and the matching, lace trim
that ran along the hem
is she prettier than you? that's not what i'm trying to say
but in that moment she looked so beautiful
i couldn't look away
it doesn't have to reveal
it doesn't have to be tight
maybe a summer number
now that the weather's right
anything would be ideal
anything would suffice
i don't care about brand names
and i don't care about price
in fact, it should be cheap since it would be so overdue
that it would not take me too long at all
to tear that dress off of you

Too long spent on this darn highway
We need a place to stay
To crash out for a bit
Vacancy sign at a run-down motel
Upon that hill, oh well
It could be worse, couldn’t it?
A roach as big as we have ever seen before
Scurries from the floor
Up the wood paneling
Unknown stains and cigarette burns
On the comforter
(Not very comforting)
From a shattered motel window
We are anxiously nonplussed
What’s that figure by the swimming pool?
Why ain't the water blue?
What else can we expect?
Bathroom smells of mold, piss, and stale beer
What are we doing here?
Why haven’t we left yet?
From a shattered motel window
We are anxiously nonplussed
And the strange noises below
Are they coming after us?
Never thought I'd say it, but I must concede
We don't have enough weed
To help us see this through
I'll admit I'm not a praying man
But tonight I am
Maybe you should be, too

it's an instrumental - feel free to make up your own words.

I am a default napper
We've been staying up all night
Songs and drinks, smiles and after
Doing what just feels right
We are zombies through the workday
Barely there, sleepwalking
Needing sleep in the worst way
But not regretting a thing
Such an inane endeavor
To try and put a name to this
It's just the first days of "whatever"
That's more or less appropriate

Goodbye Song #2
04:05

I was surprised
By the lack of surprise
In your eyes
A cold painful gaze
Maybe I should've rephrased
My goodbye
But it's too late now
Yeah, it's too late now
I must admit
I was expecting it
To affect you more
It's selfish, I know
But I was hoping you'd show
Some remorse
But it's too late now
Is it too late now?
All I want, dear
Is just one small tear
An emotional cue
To make me feel like
Saying goodbye
Was the wrong thing to do
(It's not the way this should end,
Can we start again?)
I was surprised
By the lack of surprise
In your eyes
A cold distant gaze
Maybe I should've rephrased
My goodbye
Well, goodbye
