It's Funny I'm Talking To You

[mlbdorney]

Here I sit,
rather, here I fly
a little bit mixed up,
a little bit dry.
wondering politely
all the while, why
I picked up my phone
and started to dial
I guess there was something
in the moon, not that I think
that part of it is true
but it's still kinda funny -
that I'm talking to you

See, we've got to play
some catch-up, sketch some light
into this story, even though
you always said
my life was kinda boring
your words are small stings
prized posessions, priceless rings
showing me time and time again
what growing up really means
even though it's been you, like they say
through and through
it's still kinda funny -
that I'm talking to you

Nah, it's safe to say
I ain't really changed much
still a small bag of insults
carrying a big crutch
still like them bites of love
still like the sound of touch
still loud, paranoid, still
ready for the cut, still
trying to figure out
when it counts to give enough
proving why I called today
when I had nothing else to do
but it's still kinda funny -
that I'm talking to you

Oh you're going to that school?
Damn! You got yourself a plan!
I remember when you used to show me
how to be a man. Well,
maybe there I've made a little progress
but if you can't read my results
at least you got your own tests
shit girl, I can't really measure up to that
all I got going for me is fantasy and
kinda rap, the kinda crap you might download
for free, one day
taped to the barcode on a box of kool-aid
It's crazy, the way I kinda like you
calling me fool, so i guess it makes some sense -
that I'm talking to you

Well, there I go, at last at a loss
for words, you sigh into the phone
leaving me not the least bit
reassured. but I know you're tired
after all, you just talked to me!
but really,
truly,
sincerely,
I mean it,
thank you for your company.
you've seen me
in the limelight, seen me
in your heart, saw me
when the time was right
saw me at the start
and maybe that's why,
when I'm here, I've only got one thing to do
and I know that it's simple,
and beautiful,
and never forgotten
it's my breath, and it's talking to you
