Caution Song

Last night I saw you looking

Outside and I was hoping

That I could break through

Your insecurity system

But only broken signals

From a haunted tower

I bought myself an hour

But now

I don't know when or how

Or who will bring you back rightfully

Cold or old or quite spitefully

Maybe the same one

“Who are these people anyway?”

Who writes a sad song these days?

I heard a faucet dripping

All night, a heartbeat skipping

The words

Lip syncing a caution song

You know who I saw

When you shot me down last night

Down on a moonbeam

A guitar string, Johnny Armstrong

You could have warned me

You should have told me

What I should have known
