A Simple Gesture

No domination
Just exploitation
You don't need total control
When you use us all

I'm waking up in the noontime sun
The late night show is not for everyone

A simple gesture molds the future
No creation
Missing passions

Got caught in the rain again late last night
Couldn't get to sleep so I took the time to write
Two A.M., let's see what's on TV
Nothing stopping you and nothing stopping me

And I'm waking up in the noontime sun
And the late night show is not for everyone

When you read the signs
You may change your mind
Your situation may read extinction

I've had three apartments since I last saw you
I kept your letters
Your hate mail, I kept too

I can't drive a car
Or play guitar
But I'm moving fast and that's a gas

I saw hail for the first time late last night
All I can say is I'm glad I was inside
I re-read your letters so I could feel sad
For the first time they didn't make me think of times we had

And I'm waking up in the noontime sun
And the late night show is not for everyone

Got caught in the rain again late last night
Couldn't get to sleep so I took the time to write
Two A.M., let's see what's on TV
Nothing stopping you and nothing stopping me
