Go Ahead And Call Me Crazy

 Go ahead and call me crazy

cause I'm in this same old place

where everthing is hazey

But I can see your face

The pain, it feels familiar

like a worn out country song

My friends are takin bets

on how long til you're gone.

 

Cause we've been here before

the place you walk back in my life

You catch me between husbands

when you've finally left your wife

I know I shouldn't listen

to the promises you swear

cause I'm down to my last tear

ridin on a whispered prayer.

 

So, go ahead and call me crazy

cause I'm in this same old place

Where everything is hazey

but I can see your face

The pain, it feels familiar

like a worn out country song

My friends are takin bets

on how long til you're gone.

 

A few late night conversations

I still don't know where you stand

What made you wanna call me

when you're the one who ran

I've waited for so long

to hear your voice and feel your touch

but you have to be the one

that still wants ME that much.

 

Go ahead and call me crazy

cause I'm frozen here in time

I've never wanted this so badly

just to know that you are mine.

Your heartbeat, so familiar

and I know it won't be long

till I wonder when you're leavin

how long til you're gone.

Author's Note

AHA!! I knew it was a Country song when I started to read it!! Not because of some preconceived stereotype but I studied music for so long. It was my life once upon a time. I was a singer and pianist. And although I could never compose, as I was reading your poem I heard the music in my head. I heard it just like you wrote it and I felt that Country pull. I really love this poem, it sort of reminds me of a guy that just won't leave me alone. Every six months that b*****d tries to reinsert himself into my life. And I am weak, he is just what I want and also what I hate the most. I dunno but your song spoke to me, great writing, loved the poetic flow. And I hope you find the time to put it to music, and on your site cuz I'd love to hear it! Great writing!
