"Europe: For Whores In Training"

[Disco Donkey]

Three months of adoration
Crippled under three weeks away
Maybe it was the foreign air
That was sucked into your lungs
Or it could have been that foreign object on your lips
Sealed shut in my presence
I mean too much to you to kiss

My arms were left cold and empty
Waiting impatiently for a familiar body
And a day that seemed so distant
That it couldn’t be measured by miles
Each night I sat under my covers, in a seat, on a plane
When I awoke I was never in Europe
Only growing more insane

You told me I was perfect with teary eyes
I said you were too, and meant it every time
But I just wasn’t faultless enough for you
Because you found someone perfectly new

A day earlier than my heart expected
A shine of headlights meant you came home
Shedding a glow on my still barren embrace
The hug that never happened remains in the driveway
You brought me a materialistic attitude
And an Ipod to play a million meaningless songs
A beautifully ridiculous parting gift

I have one for you
It’s a ticket back to Europe
One-way, I’ll reverse this
Don’t come back until you’re perfect

Good in that you can clearly see personal experience from this song and thats its emotion from your heart. Though I think it may be a little too straight forward, dunno, might be just me :/

I'm sure it is too straight forward. I've never been good with tip-toeing my way around topics that come from personal experience. I actually think my lyrics suffer more when I am writing about something I've experienced. Kinda weird I guess.
