You Know
What I’m Talking About

there are times when i have thought about you
and there are times when i have thought
less than perfect things

well, forgive me
unless you like that kind of thing

i know it has been years
since we have talked
and I know you probably hate me
and maybe you want something different in life
maybe I would be a nice diversion for you

and maybe I could tell you
that I have gone through a lot too
and maybe we could find consolation
in each other

maybe we could provide relief

maybe you would like to be the kind of man
you could never be around me before
maybe you would talk to me

and say things that you couldn’t tell anyone

well, at least not in open places

well, maybe you know what i’m talking about
my point is
I’ve been looking for things
and maybe, just maybe
you are looking for things too

maybe you’re looking for something out of life
maybe some comic relief
maybe some attention

maybe I could be that for you
maybe you could be that for me
