Unprepared

I can’t stay, I say
You’re a lie, she says
To your eyes and on your skin,
I read your mind, she says
Prove me wrong, she says
I’ve been around, she says
And all the way with my eyes closed, she says
Stay right there, she says
Look at me, she says
I know a way to make you feel a star, she says
Oh my god, I say
Oh my god, I say
But if it’s a dream, why can’t I scream to wake me up, I say
I can’t stay, I say
You’re a lie, she says
To your eyes and on your skin,
I read your mind, she says
Prove me wrong, she says
I’ve been around, she says
And all the way with my eyes closed, she says
Stay right there, she says
Look at me, she says
I know a way to make you feel a star, she says
Oh my god, I say
Oh my god, I say
But if it’s a dream, why can’t I scream to wake me up, I say
I’ve been around for 4 decades,
I’ve seen the cities and the planes,
I’ve watched the ball that comes and go,
Still, I’m unprepared for you
