LYRIC FOR SALE

By Brian Tarr

He goes left out the door every morning
Looking down on his phone while working
Hoping one of these days will be different
Someone waiting for him from a distance

He goes left out the door every evening
Take a bus to a home that’s empty
Lay in bed with his phone still looking
How can anyone love being lonely?

Isn’t being in love so much better?
Helping you up when you’re under the weather
Building a life that’s better together
It’s but a dream, just a dream left to ponder

She goes right out the door every morning
Looking down on her phone while walking
Ears shut to the words being spoken
Trying to get a little closer but failing

All the “suitors” come off disgusting
Not a single one seems interesting
Only invested in short-term plans
Why is commitment so hard to understand?

Isn’t being in love so much better?
Working towards something that truly matters
Building a life worthwhile together
It’s but a dream, just a dream left to ponder

If only there was someone like that
Someone like you, like me, like us
Maybe I’m looking too hard or not enough
Is wanting more than just a dream too much?

Isn’t being in love so much better?
Never need to look around for another
Nothing’s not too far away when it’s closer
It can be more than just a dream, I wonder
