Staying Current

Agonized over small decisions
Grease fire burst when you left the kitchen
Watched wild parrots from the balcony
Watched French film 'cause you're sharper than me

A small home, a yard with lilacs
Debated your lips, dwelled on your chest
Offered tutorial, then made it a test
Healthy or dark, you wanted partnership
Healthy or dark, I wanted no part of it

A small home, a yard with lilacs
Haunted home, a yard with dead grass
I have a need to control, and you love to be told
I have a need to step on, and you love to clean soles
Nailed yourself to the tile, you're fully committed
You'll be there awhile. Maybe I'll drop in
