Day 4 - To You

I don't know
It's out of my control
The music faded out so long ago
From the radio
And ever since just failed attempts to find a clear signal
I'd turn the dial slow
But static overwhelmed the speakers, so
I gave up the struggle
Now every time a song revives I fail to hit the notes

No, don't sit there and swear
That if I wanted I could learn
My family, historically
Is not one I would consider
As musically inclined, so why
Would my abilities differ?
If I take the stage, I'm so afraid
That I'd forget the words

I don't know why I'm suddenly
Revealing everything
I guess I've had too much to drink
My glass looks empty, look this
Conversation's depressing
Let's change the ambience
And lighten the mood just a bit
And lift our spirits
Well this cigarette should do the trick

My head is so crowded
I think I lost you in the clutter
I wish you were here
I wish you were here

You can take away
This tightness in my chest
Stop my head from shouting
Tell me it's okay
Keep me from falling away

I pushed you aside
And I apologize
It happened all the time
I know I'll never change
And I don't know why

When the beat began and you extended your hand
(You wouldn't understand, you wouldn't understand)
I took it, then I second-guessed myself with every step
(You wouldn't understand, you wouldn't understand)
Your body leapt to the breath of every instrument
(You wouldn't understand, you wouldn't understand)
My uncoordinated steps began effecting your dance
(You wouldn't understand, you wouldn't understand)
I didn't mean to make it seem like I intentionally
Faltered my feet, shut off the beat, just for your disdain
I couldn't justify the need to intervene with the piece
To compromise its dignity, so I walked away
You wouldn't understand
