I Can't Get You Out of My Head
Staying up late last night, Just like every night, Just like every day, -hard to stop thinking about you,
Eating another pasta dinner, I only add pesto and parmesan, For the first time I pause, -hard to stop thinking about you
Lying in my bed, I read another comic book by Hergé, I hear the clock tick, -hard to stop thinking about you
Remembering the nights in Guatemala, I woke up so early in Santiago, Only our silhouettes marking the daybreak, -hard to stop thinking about you
Searching for an evening snack, I settle my eyes on the cheddar cheese, The label says “sharp”, never mild, -hard to stop thinking about you
Editing another essay, I open another wound with the knife, Blood soaks the paper straight through, -hard to stop thinking about you
Talking on the phone to nobody, I complete another circuit A long dance without a partner, -hard to stop thinking about you
Strolling to the theater, I hear you bring up the cheese again, But you ask what I like, that's why I remember, -hard to stop thinking about you
Walking the streets of Berkeley, I fall further and further behind, The second hand unwinds, -hard to stop thinking about you
Comforting a friend, I feel more distant every day, Every time I reach, my hand is stayed, -hard to stop thinking about you
Relaxing on vacation, I see the whales spout, the waves crash and otters play below, But the most romantic spot is not, -hard to stop thinking about you
Sitting in Spanish class, I alone get the joke, But there are always two laughing -hard to stop thinking about you
Standing alone in the hallway, I am surrounded by friends, A laugh pierces my reverie, -hard to stop thinking about you
Lying in the bath for hours, I always hope that you will call, Every ring is another pang, -hard to stop thinking about you
Writing this poem, I know it could have been you, I look up so the tears don't fall, -hard to stop thinking about you
It's hard to stop thinking about you |
