Wait, Maybe Love - Craig Cardiff

yester-year where we learned the fear

Rents the cheapest room in the house, dear

love called

and said she found a better room

to the year where we stayed awake

and talked about, how the earthquake

surely must be a sign

the sky would fall

wait, maybe love just

missed her train

wrong ticket, wrong platform, out in the rain

she’ll be home

soon i bet

you know how love can get

you know how love gets

sadness started to hang around

and sit in the place where love used to sit

and where love filled your eyes, sadness just pulls you down

sadness smiles and says,

«I know im not her, im not love

but i’ll stay and give you comfort and tell you

how right you are and how right you’ve always been»

wait, maybe love just

took ill

in fever rides a cough and pills

she’ll be home as soon as the doctor says

we know how love gets

you know how love gets

hates loud, and she pays for all the drinks

and she glitters and tells you exactly what she thinks

even when you say,

«thanks, but i don’t need to know»

and hates loud as she takes you home to bed

and shows you all the tricks, and leaves you more alone

and she tells you shes all you deserve

wait, maybe love

maybe love

Left a note

tucked, in the pillow in the pocket

of your coat

ohh, to remind us how the time went

and love was here

and love can come back again

and love was here

and she’ll come back again.
