7 year ache

*

Girls in the bars, thinking ‘who is this guy?’

But they don’t think anything when they’re telling their lies.

You look so careless shooting that ball.

And heartaches are heroes when your pockets are full.

Tell me you’re trying to cure the seven year ache.

See what else your careless hands can break.

Boys say ‘when’s he going to give us some room?’

Girls say ‘God, I hope he comes back soon…’
