The way it 'twas

You want to know what I like and why?
I like coming to your place and getting high.

I like painting with you and loosing myself for a while
I like talking to you, kissing you and enjoying your smile

I miss your mouth and like you behind me breathing in my ear
I love murdering time with you and of course, drinking beer!

All of this I love and you want to know why?
Because I made it all happen, from my mind's eye!

I thought about what I wanted , so hard that I sought it out.
Found it - exactly - no questionable doubt!

I wanted a friend in the Quarter, I wanted to find a good gallery.
A place to feel safe, I don't need a stinkin' salary!

A stranger I found,
To fool around,
Maybe not too wise.
But I needed to run, to get away, to revise.

For the purpose of improving myself
And laying everything out on the shelf
I did what I needed to do
And I'm still not done sorting it all through.

But whatever happens and shit always does.
I want you to know, I like the way it 'twas.
