Waitin’
Watchin’ the clock
It’s four o’clock
It’s got to stop
Tell him
Take no more
She practices her speech
As he opens the door
She rolls over
Pretends to sleep
As he looks her over
She lies and says
She’s in love with him
Can’t find a better man
She dreams in color
She dreams in red
Can’t find a better man
Talking
To herself
There’s no one else
Who needs to know
She tells herself
~ Better Man, by Pearl Jam (a favorite song of the last week)
