Whatever it Takes

From the album Glimmer (2009)

I can't forget you
All the things we've been through
All the gigs you've gone to
Countless times we'll start new
I can't remember
Dates and times and numbers from the past
Twenty weeks
Or twenty years

I have apparitions
Of living television
With no transformation
Having every intention
If we had discussed it
I'm sure that movie says it all the time
Sex is fine
And always worth it

Life is worth waiting for
Life is not big screens
Close enough to talk but not to
Touch on balconies

What it takes
Whatever it takes to
Be with you is not
What I give
What can I bring that s true
I can't forget you

I'm not a pretender
Better friends remember
Things like birthdays and your
Favorite book
Your favorite author
Friendships weather
Till you get a letter
Life is more
Than a war
Or new Gap sweaters
