Incommunicado

I wish the words would fail me just for once

(Just once)

Keep in incommunicado

(You don't say a word)

Look for the present tense and come to my senses

(Come pick me up)

Just like a desperado

(Ado)

I talked for twenty minutes

By the time the party ended, you'd forgotten

I'm still thinking about it

Five years later

You spoke an unfamiliar dialect

(Comme ca?)

Two and a half months over

(Over)

Next think, I knew someone had called for the check

(Check please)

And you were gone before I turned it over

I dreamed we were alone all night

In a house made out of beds

And nothing happened

I think about it every time I see you

That's when I try to remember

There were never any terms we could agree to

Now can I please have a moment of your time?

(Can I please have a moment of your time?)

For I have the strength to change my mind

(Read my mind)
