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.../ // /
