SHE WAIVED AT ME…  I WAS TOO SHY TO RESPOND


I can’t say goodbye because I am afraid to say hello
You cannot be so happy in this world
You cannot appear so happy as you waive at me
Golden girl

You know the universe is expanding
Each second that passes on this street
Moves us a bit closer to the ghosts
I just want to go home and hold my cat near my heart, I don’t know if you know but I
suffer from anxiety

It is eerie
Golden girl
To see you so happy

But still I love your joy
Mine is unwarranted and I don’t want to be perceived as dim-witted
So I leave it in my room below the light bulb
Idle smiles have no place in the valley of life
But I love your joy

It is eerie
Golden girl
To see you so happy
To see you waive at me
To see you smile and waive at me
