Vacation Pay
Daniel Willard
Some things pass, but some things won't
I'm always the underlying note
When you're worked up and talking fast
I want you back, I want you
I wouldn't be myself if I stuck around
It's like I'm talking just to make sounds
Held under suddy water
Lips kiss your palm
Feet kick at the sides of the tub
I'm thinking of you
I'd dye my hair if you'd like it
I'm stacking chairs to break my fall
From you, from August, I'm so impatient
It feels like I can't laugh at all
I wouldn't be myself if I stuck around
It's like I'm talking just to make sounds
Held under suddy water
Lips kiss your palm
Legs kick at the sides of the tub
I'm thinking of you
