My best guess at the lyrics to Gainesville Monday.

Gainesville Monday

I Like It

it ain't gonna be all right
it ain't gonna be all right
it'll be all wrong
but that's the way I like it

we'll be unhappy
we won't sleep at night
we won't rest all day

no it ain't gonna be all right
oh no it ain't gonna be all right
it'll be all wrong
but that's the way I like it


It Seems Obvious

it seems obvious to me
I caressed you face
I shower you with kiss
I gaze into your soul

you started it all
reassuring me
that you wanted to be with me

it seems obvious to me
something changed all those things
and now it's gone away

how do I reconcile
this state of it
and go on like it didn't happen


Here Now Today

yesterday I had to run away
couldn't stand the depression

it didn't matter what I did
as long as I got away from myself
and the blue thoughts I was having

but I managed that day
and here now today
it's more calm and contemplative

so why do I think about these things
how do I get into emotional trouble

I guess I feel too deep
and can't let it go of me

but just give me some time
and I'll make my life mine
until the next time the blues come around


The Picture

I've got a picture of you
I'll never let it go
not if I wanted to

I somehow lost my mind
gave it up to you
I surrendered myself

but that picture of you
is what I took
and I won't give it back

I can't give up your picture
my mind won't let it go
it keeps flashing there all the time

but what a beautiful picture
I couldn't ask for more
except maybe you


The Call Imaginary

hello?
oh hi
what a pleasant surprise
I hope
you miss me?
oh that's so good to hear
are you feeling better?
you only have to say you're not feeling well
I will understand
I know we have immense differences
somehow I don't care about that
it amazes me but I don't
you touched me deeply
and that's what I cherish
and that's what I feel in my heart


If It Is

I'm going to be there tomorrow
in the afternoon
I'm gonna be in front of you
what will you do
whatever you do
it'll be what you do
we'll get together
face to face
because that's the way
you like it


The Fathoms

I got to go now
I feel myself going back
to someplace difficult
because of something I lack

I didn't know I didn't have it
until you reminded me
I'm so sorry I forgot
and was full of nothing

but when the nothing became evident
I was fearful of the fall
to that place that's so difficult
and the emptiness of it all

but I'll live another day
maybe I'll hear someone say
I'll take all your nothing
and infuse it with my love


I Take You

do I love you
yes I do
do I love you
yes I do

do I honor you
yes I do
do I honor you
yes I do

do I respect you
yes I do
do I respect you
yes I do

do I take you
yes I do
do I take you
yes I do
