Octaves for August

To the people at home when you’re hearing this
You’re the reason this shit is all worth it
I know you hear the tales of my history
I’ll prepare when I’m old for paternity
Learning lessons together you and me
Thought that would be the story I’m telling
But when I think of the future I feel bleak
Only thing I can tame is my memory

Building a couch to relax on, you and me
Didn’t think you could build it so poorly
It was built on a promise you didn’t keep
Hammocks hanging, I never could compete
Texas rivers I never could compete
I get shivers, I had you, honest
I’ll polish another face of the gem for me
I’m preparing my soul for eternity

Had a phase for the movie industry
Found her place being so dishonest
I couldn’t think of a better chick for me
I’d be lying if I were modest
I’m learning lessons a lifetime at a time
I’m a mess if you drink me case by case
Now I only take meetings face to face
Don’t contact me unless you’re onto me

Well, here I go again
You know I’m moving away
Before your eyes
Before your eyes
Well here I go again
You know I don’t think I can stay
Before your eyes
It’s your, your eyes
