Relient K First Lines Poem
A roll of the dice,
A walk through the streets of PA
At 3pm.
I know that pride and summertime
And children having nightmares
Ask, where am I? Where are you?
There’s a new boy in the neighborhood
Who almost hit the tree.
I talked to my sister
About the times in my life
When I had a thing for Nancy Drew.
Is it just a car?
Here’s the kick off:
I think we’re going somewhere.
All the girls in the bathroom talking,
About how Christians are all afraid of fire.
But people make mistakes,
We drive lousy excuses for cars,
We have feelings inside our heads.
Am I at the point of no improvement?
Chilling at the layer…
What have YOU been doing lately?
Have you been bored at the stable?
Starting songs off with questions?
Quoting Mark Twain?
It’s the principle, it’s the issue.
Pray to Jesus.
Ok so, who doesn’t own a cell phone?
The girls I am talking about?
I am falling out of grace
And banging my head against the wall.
It was Jeremy in 1983,
Saying “someone please save us college kids.”
I think it might just be alright
To call my friend ‘cause I’m bored.
I was thinking,
That sometimes it’s embarrassing
To make up my mind and my heart
Only to say “arg wu sentafinticate.”
Excuse me, but I’ve got a request
Can you kiss it better?
The way that girl can break a heart
Makes me want to give up, give up slowly.
‘Cause we were talking together
As we sat looking at the traffic lights,
Listening to the politician wishing
He was seeing her.
I feel like I would like
To know what you’re getting at.
Let it all out,
Watch the proverbial sunrise,
‘Cause our concentration contains a deadly flaw.
This week the trend was to say
Hey taxi, take me straight to the heart of
Telling you flat out that it hurts too much to think of this.
That night at the theater, I said
I better rest my eyes, ‘cause
I’ve dug up miles and miles of sand.
It’s been a year filled with problems,
‘Cause no one told me that
Fear can drive stick.
I made a habit
Of making up my mind
And wasting ten seconds.
I was gonna spell it out in full detail, but
Yesterday was not was not quite what it could’ve been
Because I could smell the death on the sheets.
How many times can I push it aside?
I listen to the sirens and think,
To know her is the love her.
A solar flare shines through her hair,
While I’ve been working with adhesives.
I swear this to you,
I’ll admit to who I am.
And I am lying on my side.
Savannah, I hope to be there by the morning
‘Cause it’s all that I can do to thank you.
I got a chill,
And I can’t keep a straight face and say this is not the end.
Don’t know where to go from here.
Hey, I try to run away,
But you had a baby at 17 years old.
I hear the words that you’re telling me.
I’m looking at a cop in my rearview mirror
And I woke up alone with you.
There was a time when I was scared of nothing,
‘Cause I’ve been spending all my time falling in love.
I still remember what happened,
she looked good in your clothes,
and between the miles of open road I lost sight of what mattered the most.
