Recién Casado

I’m tired of living locked up
Tired of running out of bread and scraps
Old from living life a thousand times over

The only thing that doesn’t bore me is you
Though sometimes it’s true you talk too much
But I’m already too far away to hear

Tired of staring at the stars
Exhausted from hearing the same old thing

I was raised in the country
I only understand when someone talks down to me
I speak fluently and I don’t know when it started
But I think I’m too far away to understand

If you could visit me
Even if it was just once
It would be such a big surprise
If you’d just shut up and let the silence
Teach you how to believe
If it weren’t for the fact that you’re not breathing today
I could walk and listen to life
There’s something that keeps me restless
It’s your voice that watches over me night and day

Today I see you in the picture and I find you beautiful
Even though it always seems like you talk too much
The only thing I have here today is you
Framed and lovely like a blue princess
But I’m already too far away to feel more

But I’m already too old to cry anymore

If you could visit me
Even if it was just once
It would be such a delight
If you’d just shut up and let the silence teach you how to believe
