Patchwork

I know it’s wrong

I know it’s selfish

It’s such a short life

With so little time

You know this pattern

A patchwork of any direction

Cobbled together

In odd shape and size

Take my hand, we’ll walk through this together

But my hand gets sweaty

You somehow slip away

I try to call you, but I don’t call too loud, no

I try to look, I never looked that hard

‘Cause this blue’s a swirling ocean

The green, the ambition

The red is the guilt

There’s a lot of red

I know it’s wrong

I know it’s selfish

It’s such a short life

So little time

I try to call you, but I don’t call too loud, no

I try to look, I never looked that hard

‘Cause this blue’s a swirling ocean

The green, the ambition

The red is the guilt

There’s a lot of red

The yellow is my sunshine

Comes out on odd occasion

Barely enough to keep you around
