Muses: "Cada Beijo" by Bebel Gilberto and "All I Said" by Guru featuring Macy Gray
"All I said
Was 'I'll call you later'
Sometimes I forget
I love you, baby
Don't be so upset
'I'll call you later'
Is all I said.."
The other night I did something hella romantic and melodramatic
that left me bellowing tragically, requesting your amnesty.
My actions were intensely indelible and instantly regrettable.
I'm now left moping and pouting and sulking in doubt,
gulping Guiness Stouts and wishing I'd never opened my mouth.
The night was mine.
I was adhered to Fate.
I was right on time.
I was a year too late.
I rendered myself completely vulnerable,
thus revealing power.
It was the sweetest thing I'd ever done,
yet left you feeling sour.
I was "cooooolll".
I was heated.
I was a fool.
I was a genius.
I was balanced.
I was bumbling.
I was snappin'!
I was stuttering.
I was torn.
I was thorough.
I was "Ste-fawwwn".
I was Urkel.
I authored my redemption.
Wrote my undoing.
Artfully intentioned.
Awfully stupid.
I should have said in whispers what I instead said in roars.
I shouldn't have said shit.
I should have said more.
I would take back what I did.
And at the same time......hardly.
I'm proud of what I said.
And at the same time......
I'm sorry.
