other plans
lyrics & music by peter c marinari 4.27.99

i see your face as a reflection/ eyes as lines blurred down around the middle/ i'm watching your nose melt into your mouth/ and you never melted in my hands/ like you promised you would/ i guess we both had other plans// watching you walk away/ was the hardest thing to do/ until i saw you walking back again/ and liking you/ was the only thing to do/ until i made other plans/ // / sitting on the back steps/ we danced a dance of caution/ our words tangoed into the night/ and we were so in character/ we forgot how to act ourselves/ in a way that we could understand// and watching you walk away/ was the hardest thing to do/ until i saw you walk away again/ and loving you/ was the only thing to do/ until i made other plans/ // / in the absense of our speaking/ i try to reconcile the image/ of how you are now with you were then/ and you never understood me when/ i spoke nothing but the truth to you/ so maybe we're better off with this song and dance// but watching you walk away/ was the hardest thing to do/ until i saw you walk away again/ and loving you/ was all that i could do/ until i made other plans/ watching you walk away/ is the hardest thing to do/ until i see you coming back again/ and loving you/ is the only thing i can do.../ i need to make some other plans/ i need to make some other plans/ yes i need to make some other plans/ // /
