In a Hurry - Asha Ali

In a hurry

But I can’t find my shoes

The light is pouring in telling me to come outside

In a hurry to catch a train go see someone

Someone to make me smile

In a hurry if I stay another minute

I’ll lay down on the floor and I’ll never get up again

You were wearing your dark green jacket

And you smelled of love

And I was down on my knees I was begging you to stay

But you chose to go

And as the holes in the ground they ate me up whole

And the tears they filled my lungs

And as the rain fell down and I felt it all go

And the tears they filled my lungs

And I died for a week every time I woke up

And the tears they filled my lungs

Filled my lungs

In a hurry to catch a train go see someone to explain it again

That I’m as strong as my wounded soul

And as weak as my foolish pride

We both fucked it up, oh yes, we did we were so young, young and stupid

What with my sadness and with your thirst for independence

So go feed your ego and I’ll find my peace

It plays over and over

How you smelled of love

And I was down on my knees I was crying and

You chose to go, to go

And as the holes in the ground they ate me up whole

And the tears they filled my lungs

And as the rain fell down and I felt it all go

And the tears they filled my lungs

And I died for a week every time I woke up

And the tears they filled my lungs

Filled my lungs
