Likewise
I never thought the fall could go so fast,
But summer landed just like that.
Less than a week apart, an hour on a train—
I had a plan, but it was plain,
I knew I would see you again.
’Cause when I look into those eyes
They seem to say, “Likewise.”
You surely caught me by surprise,
But I surmise I must reply:
“Likewise.”
Oh honey, I will hold your hat
If you keep time tables like that.
It’s like we synced a watch before we ever met.
One could say it’s the same page, but I’ve got something better yet:
~ drum solo ~
’Cause when I look into your eyes
They seem to say, “Likewise.”
You walk inside my mind
Help find the kind of binds, I hope you find
Likewise.
I wandered, I wondered, I wished and I wherefore’d most of my ways
Were wary, were worried when you came on the scene, and now I see
The world would be wider, be brighter when I let you in and begin
To give you the same hope, to prove to you I can be home.
’Cause when you look into my eyes
They mean to say, “Likewise.”
You surely caught me by surprise, but I surmise I must reply:
“You fill me up with bliss, I love that I can count on this, from the first kiss I knew I couldn’t miss a single bit of this!”
It only took a year, but here it is my dear for you to hear:
“Likewise.”
Peggy Sue stole the mail truck again.
She called it direct action, and then
She lost my grandpa’s medicine,
My water bill was late,
She shredded wedding invitations
And she did not hesitate.
Peggy Sue stole the mail truck again.
We didn’t know if it was crickets or tinnitus that kept her up at night.
But don’t we all know that feeling in those lonely hours when something isn’t right?
Call it fate, call it karma, call it anything but boredom.
I mean that’s what it is, but no need to put too fine a point on it.
Peggy Sue stole the mail truck again.
She called it a Saturday well spent.
She threw out my aunt’s thank you notes
And spat upon the census,
She delivered all our love letters
But to the wrong addresses.
Peggy Sue stole the mail truck again.
She tampers with forever stamps,
Covered envelopes with gum,
Rubs together eager hands,
She’s only just begun!
And just about three days ago
Our Peggy lost her job.
Better pay for overnight
For it won’t be long…
But who could ever tell what might set her off?
It changes every time.
The one thing that we can tell you all for sure is that you’ll be fine,
But for those of us stuck here it’s just a simple fact of life.
It’s just another day with our local postal parasite.
So we sigh!
Peggy Sue stole the mail truck again.
She thinks the task is just her bent.
She ignores the fragile stickers
And throws packages about,
She signs her name on each petition so that there can be no doubt:
Peggy Sue stole the mail truck again.
Peggy Sue stole the mail truck again.
Peggy Sue stole the mail truck again.
Peggy Sue stole the mail truck again.
