2nd Quarter Piece: Song



Once again, for WTL we did poetry second quarter and we had to write a song.  I took the song We Used To Vacation by Cold War Kids and rewrote the lyrics for my piece.  If you haven't heard that song though look it up, I am begging you.  That song is incredibly good.  Either way, this one falls along the lines of "juicy" and "scandal" and all that, so please, enjoy.


We Know The Effects

I stepped around your desk

Heart pounding in my chest

We felt the need

Then did the deed

Taste of you left in my mouth

 

Romeo and Juliet

Would've wished we never met

If they had seen

Just what we know

She's too young, he's too old

 

I know it's got to be

There is no you and me

It has to go that way

I know it's got to be

Even though it's hell

The secret we can't tell

 

It's sort of messed up seeing us stuck here

I never thought that things

Would turn out like this

But I still feel

The marks on my shoulder

I'll never be the same

We'll never be the same

 

Francesca and Paolo

Would have never known

Just what to do

With me and you

A sticky situation

 

We're too close here right now

I should leave the room

I don't that we considered the

Ramifications of our actions

Undeniable attraction

It's time for your reaction

Let's have that satisfaction

 

I know it's got to be

There is no you and me

It has to go that way

I know it's got to be

Even though it's hell

The secret we can't tell

 

It's sort of messed up seeing us stuck here

I never thought that things

Would turn out like this

But I still want you

To talk me into

Another screw

The desire is just too true

 

It's sort of messed up seeing us stuck here

I can't go back

To being near you with clothes on

But I'm bothered by

That ring on your left hand

I'll never be the same

We can never be the same.








Gotta love those teacher affairs, right?  Makes for good writing anyways
