Missing Primus

from You by Paris Street

/

lyrics

Gillian, you had your hair straightened
Partially for your boyfriend
But maybe more for the bass player
Who was here today

You say that it’s the way you look best
And I’ve no way to render judgement
Without having wavy evidence
To contemplate

You still look great, for what it’s worth
This night is not what you deserve

Your day began with so much hope
Your favorite band was putting on a show
At the local casino
It’s not far away

Instead you’re at a bar with me
How can one fall so rapidly?

Sail the seas of discontentment or fly fearlessly
Race on past the mud-flecked indignation
Keep yourself in good spirits, don’t lose your dignity
Despite the night’s frustrations

Gillian, you’re swaying with the beat
So half the time you’re moving closer to me
But I know that where you’d rather be
Feels so far away

Your boyfriend wants you to come home
That doesn’t mean you have to go

Sail the seas of discontentment or fly fearlessly
Race on past the mud-flecked indignation
Keep yourself in good spirits, don’t lose your dignity
Make the most of a bad situation
If we head on down in the dark, we could have ourselves a time
(Though we both know that’s pointless speculation)
A decade in, the status quo’s still stubbornly defined
And so you’ll go home resigned
I’ll stay, and fade from your mind
