Time, don’t run out on me
There’s still so much for me to see
Don’t make me aged and languishing
I am not ready
Time, do not be cruel to me
I am but a boy so pretty
With so much still to climb to and gain
But wait! When time is gone, I shall reach the heavenly.
I’m sitting in the cafe alone
Where we did grow to know each other
My car’s broke
and I’m doing things I don’t want to
I wonder, I really do wonder
if it’s ok to be in pain
over last year’s holiday
because that one, she whom I mentioned, is gone
Now you’re home
and I’m here aline
But I hope things grow amongst us all
like a garden
My fingers clench the table
I’m getting texts from people I don’t want to hear from
I saw in the papers that the polar bears got their game on again
To start the New Year
I’m sitting at the same table we sat
and I’m hoping you won’t forget me
My fingers are clenched in despair
I don’t want it to go there
I know that many don’t see me as manly
but still I know they love me, the family
and Johnny asks me if I’m all right
I really am, because of the memory I have here.
I hope you don’t forget me
I hope you don’t regret me
I beg you not forget me
My thoughts in this cafe travel on and on
I just hope you won’t forget me
Now that you’re home.
Skater girl, skater girl
you rolled into my world
you turned it upside down
and I skated beside you
Skater girl, skater girl
Where are you?
I need to get my fill today
Can I wear your shoes?
Skater girl, skater girl
your hair is really cool
you wear it just like mine
together we battle fools
Skater girl, skater girl
who are you?
You kissed me that night
What else could I do but
love you?
Hey, Little Fears!
I’ll bring you to tears
I had a Gamer Girl in my life, once.
She respawned and respawned
Until there were none
The call of duty was
quite strong
She followed that call of duty
and now
I am lonely
Little Fears, this New Year’s
Do you hear me?
It’s not edifying, so I do not aspire to it.
Sitting in a Starbucks with you
I’m excited cos I think you’re pretty cool
I think you’re also kinda pretty
And I think on the eyes, im pretty easy, too
I know you see me differently
I know you’re only 20
I behold a baby before me
That’s ok; you’ll have one on me when I’m 40
I have lots of fun
I’m scared you want to run
Your eyes and ways rather disarm me
I’m scared that you’re scared cos you rather charm me
I can only be me, you can only be you
Sitting in this Starbucks, just us 2
I jump, you snap, I am silly
And in the end, we’ll always be family
(I know that I am different
And I can’t help it.
But grandpa’s just up the road
So you won’t get too cold on your walk home)
Will I ever be Jake to you?
Will I always have to fake my ways to be
Seen in a light of splendor
With lowered and deeper voice that goes with having muscle, classical beauty?
Isn’t it enough for me to be
A gay boy in cowboy hat
And we’ll leave it at that?
Will I ever be Jake to you?
Will my chains, this burden, ever break
So that I can be Jake?
Will I ever pop the pills, and take the knife
So I can be greater in your eyes?
Why do I care if I am Jake?
Because I don’t want to be weak in your eyes (but after all, aren’t we all the same?)
I’m afraid to be aged, and never seen in your eyes
But what your eyes can see or not
Is your problem, not mine.
