Track 15 from Charlie’s Oasis.

DRINKING ALONE

All in all
I feel the same
as I did when you walked out the door
I’ve been waiting
to hear from you again
and this is the best you can do
empty words
on a pixilated screen
reminding me that your birthday’s next week

I may be wrong but I’m living a lie
and I don’t want you drinking alone
I’ve been a liar a thief and a friend
but I don’t want you sleeping alone

On the other hand
I disappear
in the breath of the smoke in my trees
I’ve been looking
at this picture of you
that I keep in the back of my mind
I’ve been waiting
for someone to come
and say these words that I long to hear
