Thinking of You
I never held much hope that this would last.
Now you're the ghost of one more Christmas past.
And it feels like a lifetime,
But it's all been in my mind since June.
When your first shot broke
Across the bow of my boat
And sunk me down into the blue.
Though I try every day,
I just can't escape
Thinking of you.
As I lie here awake,
It's all I can take
Of thinking of you.
I can't say how this time is not the same
As every other what-was-her-name?
But this must be how dying
A thousand times over would feel.
And as you pull the trigger,
All I hear is a whisper,
Some sordid apology.
Though I try every day,
I just can't escape
Thinking of you.
As I lie here awake,
It's all I can take
Of thinking of you.
