Don’t get mad if I’m laughing
Blame the caffeine for all the 5 am phone calls
I haven’t slept a single night in over a month
And not even once did you start to make sense to me
Well maybe I’m a little bit slow, or just consistently inconsistent
She said, “Unpredictability’s my responsibility, baby.”
But you’re waiting at the door where everybody’s hanging out just like they hung out before
You didn’t have to do it but you did it to say
That you didn’t have to do it but you would anyway
To give you something to go on when I go off back to the middle of nowhere
To give you something to go on when I go off back to the middle of nowhere
They chewed me up and then they spit me out
And I’m not supposed to let it bother me
But maybe I’m a little bit weak - I let my frailty take the wheel
She said, “Maybe there’s a bit of me waiting for a bit of you. baby.”
But you’re waiting at the door where everybody’s hanging out just like they hung out before
You didn’t have to do it but you did it to say
That you didn’t have to do it but you would anyway
To give you something to go on when I go off back to the middle of nowhere
To give you something to go on when I go off back to the middle of nowhere
But you’re waiting at the door where everybody’s hanging out just like they hung out before
You didn’t have to do it but you did it to say
That you didn’t have to do it but you would anyway
To give you something to go on when I go off back to the middle of nowhere
To give you something to go on when I go off back to the middle of nowhere
To give you something to go on - to go on back to the middle of nowhere
beautiful.
“Stay, I said
to the cut flowers.
They bowed
their heads lower.Stay, I said to the spider,
who fled.Stay, leaf.
It reddened,
embarrassed for me and itself.Stay, I said to my body.
It sat as a dog does,
obedient for a moment,
soon starting to tremble.Stay, to the earth
of riverine valley meadows,
of fossiled escarpments,
of limestone and sandstone.
It looked back
with a changing expression, in silence.Stay, I said to my loves.
Each answered,
Always.”

10 Things Wong Kar Wai Taught Me About Love
- The purest of love often begins with no sex
- Love is restricted by the many boundaries of time and chances. The right timing and the right place allows a love to bloom and bear fruit, while the opposite means the end of the beginning.
- When women fall in love, stupidity becomes of them, which often results in heartbreak and abuse, both mentally and physically, yet their actions are those of the brave.
- Love knows no language
- One can never be rid of one’s past. It takes a lifetime to get over it and only then can one move on.
- There is only one great love that lasts a lifetime.
- A relationship changes a person, no matter how small the change is
- Everyone wants to forever remain in their most cherished memories
- There’s no point waiting for things to return to their previous state. Changes usually last forever.
- Chances usually don’t come by twice.
