Lay Around Lyrics - Singles - The Jealous Girlfriends

When I found this my language in a way I began to speak 

my soul was free on a gust of inspiration 

she was soaring over the walls built with shame 

self doubt, and a midnight curfew 

a form I had not yet seen engulfed me... 

I was standing on the deck in the rain listening to jazz 

smoking a reefer cigarette and I swear 

I swear I didn't think of you once 

but I thought maybe 

love is what you've been missing 

cause love is not what you've been giving 

maybe getting is all you've known till now 

or maybe you've forgotten how 

he said "do you write for you or other people?" 

I said "other people, I want them to see the beauty 

that I can but just can not seem to touch, 

wich is only a metaphor for all of us." 

I said "I think I'm trying to capture a moment 

I think my whole life I've been trying to capture 

that moment.." 

he said "one thing you can be sure of, is that you 

never will" 

I thought maybe 

love is what I've been missing, 

cause love is not what I've been giving 

maybe getting is all I've known till now 

or maybe I never even learned how
