Feeling bad. Feeling bad about yourself. Also a song we did in Two Nice Girls.

lyrics

Wondering when I will be clear and bright?
There are things I am ashamed to tell you
I drove my car like a madwoman tonight
In the rain
On the freeway
Getting lost in my own town

I admit I am affected by your moods
They can shape me
I get lost in your worries
Your lack of time
Your sadness

Wondering when I can stay clear and bright?
There are things I am ashamed to tell you
I cannot feel how close we are sometimes
I cannot feel my love for you
You may touch me
I may be numb

I may be gone
Afraid to be affected by your tenderness
Yet I'm affected by your moods
It's cold
And you can't touch me
I long for sensation burning like a cigarette
Undeniably there
How hard can I take it?
If it's too soft I can't feel it
If I must pay attention I'll get lost

I want something constantly there
Something I can touch and know
Will I ever be bright and clear?
Will I ever feel your love, my dear?
Will I ever trust you?
Some things
I am ashamed to share
With you

The Gretchen Phillips Xperience Austin, Texas

I got your lezzie rock right here! Since 1984, keeping it real in Austin, TX. What do I mean by "real"? Transgressive, literate, unapologetic, and unafraid. Plus fun. Don't forget fun. Even when it's sad, let's look for the fun.
