Needlepoint - The Spinto Band

I am, just for a moment, carefully spoken, broken

Wearing what I just woke up in.

I end without a warning, reasonably worn out.

I got the sense that you won’t be too miserable.

And everybody knows

It aches the heart to go on

And so often I’ll knit

A pattern taken from the thirteenth levels

Wrapped in bubble bobble again?

You’ll ask whether I’m mad.

I’m better at acting sad,

But you’ll refrain I rarely strain my voice,

But now that you’ve taken all of the other waking

Hours ahead of it out, forget it

And everybody sews,

But it takes a girl with know-how

To know how to plow through

An autumn-colored scene depicting

You and me careening on a see-saw

But now that you’ve shown disinterest in the thought

I’ve taken that it’s not

What I’ve sewn that’s driven you to leave

It’s got to do with me.

You can, just for a moment, see if it’s torn or not

And if it is then you might as well stood the chance

Walking at night, drinking again,

Sulking at sight of your girlfriend.

Loiter and sigh, needle in hand,

Embroidering myself as planned but

Stranded across an empty seat.

Since you’ve shown disinterest in the thought

I’ve taken that it’s not

What I’ve sewn that’s driven you to leave.

It’s making me believe

That what you’ve done to me

Has got to do with me.
