Talking About Commas: Songs/Lyrics
Before Was Better
(Four Track and Forget)
Connelly
This song had its title first. Taken from a photograph by my friend Dan Eckstein
You say you want to but you can’t get out
You heard your friend cry for the first time today
still trying to figure what it’s all about
How come you’ve chosen to go down this way
All that I can think is before was better
where would you be without your friends?
If I knew which things I did that upset her
You know I would never do those things again
It’s so easy living in the present tense
When you turn a page you have to worry what comes next
I’m getting used to being a creature of habit
I need to learn not just to reach but to grab it
