you're a boomerang

keep art alive; art by kelly vivanco

you say that i treat you like a book on a shelf
i don't take you out that often 'cause i know that i've completed you
and that's why you are here
that's the reason you stay here
oh how awful that must feel

you said you could be my dream
i could have you every night
and if by morning, I'd forgotten you,
well no big deal, that'd be alright
'cause you're the reoccurring kind
yes, you are the reoccurring kind
you never really leave my mind

are you the love of my lifetime?
cause there have been times i've had my doubts
we were just kids when i first kissed you
in the attic of my parents house,
and i wish we were there now
it took so long to figure out
what this book has been about

now i write when i'm away,
letters that you'll never read
you said go explore those other women,
the geography of their bodies,
but there's just one map you'll need
you're a boomerang you'll see
you will return to me

you will, you will, you will, you will, you will, you will, you will
you will, you will
you will

'cause if you don't, then this book is all lies
if you don't, then my plans would all be ruined
if you don't, i'll start drinking like the way i drank before
oh, and i, i just won't have a future anymore.
