All Wrapped Up
She sighs
as her eyes
recognize
his disguise
That’s everything
everything all wrapped up
She knows
more than she shows
She follows her nose
wherever it goes
And that’s everything
everything all wrapped up
And though the seams
are stitched together
They come apart
A patchwork where the pieces
never quite fit
Too loose
too tight
too dull
too bright
for their own damn good
Too late for sainthood now
So tired
one wasted
one wired
The things they desired
betrayed and backfired
But that’s everything
everything all wrapped up
And though they seem to fit together
they come apart
A puzzle where the pieces
never quite fit
Too loose
too tight
too dull
too bright
for their own damned good
Too late for sainthood now
You’d think
when pushed to the brink
Nowhere left to sink
But hell - what's one more drink?
But that’s everything
everything all wrapped up
