Fall Should Be Here Now
November 3rd, 2007 at 1:35 pm (Lyrics, Poetry)
Waiting for the phone to ring
I know I can’t control such things
the air so quiet asking
for that buzz to break
my breath
Fall should be here now
I’ve been counting down
it’s nowhere
to be found the sky is cartoon
blue in this California town
the rains are overdue
I’ve found I don’t have a plan
I want to stick to
Night is sleeping into day
and I’ve perfected every way
to put off what I need to say
to push on forward
Waiting for the phone to ring
I’m caught up in an endless
stream of what ifs and self
questioning — I’m learning
to control these things.
