Caroline

She lays on her bed
Her hands holding her head
Her fingers holding a cigarette
She always knows just what to say
She didn’t like it when she read Hemingway
She watches Kelly, Ellen and Today when she’s bored
She finds it hard to be on time
But everything always turns out fine
She’s just about to turn 29 in July
Caroline
My friends say you’re wasting my time
Baby I don’t mind
She has no idea what to wear
She’s always playin' with her goddamn hair
She’s always sayin' that she don’t care when I know she cares
She grew up in the burbs of PA
She thinks salmon is gourmet
She thinks that it’s just okay to be alive

My friends say you’re wasting my time
