200 Soles Para Calamaro

Why sing if I don’t want to?
Why write if I just want to sleep?
Maybe 4 of these dead chords
Skip over what I don’t want to spit out.

So I’ll say
I don’t regret giving in
And finally kissing her lips with affection
Knowing I could never do it again.

So I’ll say
I don’t regret getting involved
In a cheap motel just like the wine
That we drank before forgetting that.

Why talk more about what never was?
Why write another love song?
Maybe the royalties from this glass
Will help me finish the song.

So I’ll say
I don’t regret saving up
200 bucks to go see Calamaro
At some concert in the not-so-distant future.

So I’ll say
I don’t regret getting involved
In a cheap motel just like the wine
That we drank before forgetting that.

She and I
So close
So different
Trying to be friends
Trying not to try.

She gives her skin and some cigarettes
I just want to give affection
And she only gives me
It’s okay, I know.

You won’t be able to on Thursday or Sunday
I can’t either
But if it’s with you
I’ll leave this half-assed song alone.
