Mutual Blues

You said you were a realist

That there's more time behind you than ahead

Now I'm starting to feel it

Another unhappy ending

It's not that I want to be rid of this

I'm perfectly content with what I get from it

But I'm starting to feel it

Another so sudden ending

"You did everything and nothing all at once" she said

But I don't know what that meant

A clash of views and our mutual

You can keep your socks on but I don't want to

Or you can tell me anything that you want

I miss your company but at what cost

I'm not so tired and I'm not so lost

We had our time and we had our shot

I thought that I would be good at this

Another name and number goes to the list

But I'm starting to feel it

A suddenly impending ending

As old friends we used to say "we're good for it!"

Knowing we were hopeless at everything

And I'm starting to feel it

In newly discarded promises

"You did everything and nothing all at once" she said

But I don't know what that meant

(I miss you all the same)

A clash of views and our mutual

You can keep your socks on but I don't want to

(We left it anyway)

Or you can tell me anything that you want

I miss your company but at what cost

(I miss you all the same)

I'm not so tired and I'm not so lost

We had our time and we had our shot
