No Time Soon

I am a frightened rabbit,

Running off a map,

Only loved you out of habit,

I ain't proud of that,

But while I do the dishes,

I hum a little tune,

Someday, no time soon

I was raised in a maligned,

Fading border town,

Trying to change somebody's mind,

It'll only drag you down,

When I think of going back,

It's a summer afternoon,

Someday, no time soon

There's a better way to live,

Quietly someplace,

Where nobody will admit,

They have ever known your face,

You are tempted by the countryside,

Well, I am not immune,

Someday, no time soon

The sun is going down,

On the house across the street,

I'm a colder person now,

I am trying not to be,

When I come to my senses,

I'll be in a darkened room,

Someday, no time soon

I assume that every star,

Is where it's supposed to be,

I am waiting in the car,

You tilt your head and wave to me,

I roll down the window,

You say come out and see the moon,

Someday, no time soon

I am sure that you think of me,

Scarcely, if at all,

But if you do some night quite suddenly,

Don't hesitate to call,

Even just breakfast,

In some greasy spoon,

Someday, no time soon
