lyrics

I should’ve known that night,
when you passed out on my lap,
that things probably wouldn’t work out well with you
But I kept telling myself
you had more redeeming traits,
but it turns out after all you just had one, or two
We had a date for Thursday
for “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,”
but you bailed out and stood me up by text
And when I asked “Another night?”
after your lame excuse,
“Probably not” was what you sent me next

Probably not, probably not!
You don’t even use your own lips!
My romantic delusions would best be forgot,
without a Midsummer’s eclipse!

When you saw me the next day,
as you passed me by at lunch,
when you scurried, hoping that I wouldn’t look,
I simply had to chuckle
even though ‘twas offensive,
especially when you de-friended me on Facebook
You do notice the absurd things in the universe,
but you cannot even handle conversation
So you absurdly sent excuses that perpetuate
the absurd cell phone plague that’s swept our nation

So what’s next in your regime
of these juvenile techniques?
Are you gonna uninvite me from your birthday?
No, you’ll probably just get drunk,
pass out on the floor again,
and not take heed of one damn thing I have to say.
Sure, you have great taste in music,
and you talk philosophy,
and I’ve grown to think your beard is rather hot.
But I guess fondness for Ani DiFranco’s apparently
the only real standard that I’ve got!!!

Upbeat, quirky, and just a tad bit nihilistic.
