New Song... May 31st

i wrote a song yesterday about going to the movie theater with a girl and making out. the idea is that they don't really get along too well anywhere else... but in the movie theater -- where they can't talk and screw it all up -- in the dark -- in that dreamy movie state -- everything's pretty much perfect...

in the dark
may 31, 2006

it's a confession but it's easy to tell
we go to movies and make ourselves
right at home
sitting in the dark

I got your shirt draped over my arm
you wear a skirt 'cause outside it's warm
nobody knows
what you don’t have on…

in the dark
watch the lights flicker
the movie starts
and then we're off

I sneak a flask in the pocket of my jeans
we drink it straight in the love making scenes
milk duds, kisses, popcorn in your hair
everybody's looking… I don't care

in the movies it's simple
no wasted words
to get in the way

step outside and the sun hurts my eyes
it's hard to climb back into your life
it's so much easier, there in the dark
just you and me…

in the dark
watch the lights flicker
the movie starts
and then we're off

in the dark
watch the lights flicker
the movie starts
and then we're off
