I’ve Lyrics in my pocket

and I'm caught between the lines

No pictures in my locket

my self doubt should be a crime

I talk to my reflection

and she answers nonchalant (ly)

If you're searching for affection

you'd better take a sniper's shot, see

Real love is so elusive

in fact it's nearly gone extinct

Most are all-inclusive

anything but the kitchen sink

Stop making lame excuses

step on up and take a drink

To be a winner among losers

is easier than you might think

One step and then the other

before you know, your path has changed

Let your emotions bounce like rubber

until your faith has been regained

Your name settled in your teeth

adventure lending you, your breath

Uncover what's been held beneath

fueled by prophecies like Macbeth

    Oh, I love this

  • In spite of my clinical depression, autism & general malaise, I really do believe in the premise of "Love Actually". It's just that the glimpses we tend to catch of it seem so fleeting & ephemeral.
