Canned Coffee and Closure

Lyrics
I closed the window again

There's traffic noise outside

And I'm preoccupied

With cleaning the dust off this guitar.

I've got more time to myself

in this apartment with

a bed that fits two

an empty floral chair

and one stuffed animal

that hasn't been touched in years.

So, the

past was

noisy.

Summer's come again.

There's nothing that I wanna do

but stay inside-

breathing in the overheated air,

waiting for something to happen...

Time goes on, and my

memory isn't quite the same

as it used to be.

With any luck, I'll soon have forgotten

the feeling of somebody by my side,

in stuffy summer nights.

I look forward to winter...

I bought a can of coffee

It's overly sweetened

and left out way too long.

I haven't had it since that time

And, I wonder if you

also thought of then when you

would see the can's label

The one that we shared

on our very last night

that we  were together.

Since then,

it's been

silent.

Summer's come again.

I'm hoping that I can forget

about that life

of whispering to somebody at night--

"Let's share the rest of our lives."

Sorry if I sound too dramatic.

It's got to be

the summer sun again.

But as it sets, the memory of that goodbye

fades 'til I can't remember the time

with just a can of coffee

to remind me of your eyes...

And so we walk apart,

to one day, be forgotten...
