five minutes
lyrics & music by peter c marinari 9.5.98
five minutes time/
lost to the space of the room/
my voice echos off the walls/
and then it's gone/
so fast away//
and the second choice is always best/
but we choose the first/
so we're fucked/
we always assume the worst/
and hope the best/
and it always turns out/
in the end//
i know about me and i'm near enough to happy/
and i know it//
but accidents happen/
and people fall away/
and new clouds obscure the moon/
and i will die/
by your words/
by your words/ // /
it doesn't matter what i think about/
as long as i don't ever say it/
and it doesn't matter who cares/
no one cares anyway/
and it doesn't matter who hears me/
standing on the street beneath my windowsill/
hears me playing my heart out/
but it doesn't matter anyway/
cause i live and die by the words you say/
cause i live and die by the words you say/
cause i live and die by the words you say.../ // /
