[00:09]as we were talking outside it was cold we were
[00:14]shivering yet warmed by the subject matter my wife
[00:19]is in the next room we've been having troubles you know please don't
[00:23]tell her or anyone but I need to talk to somebody
[00:27]you said "wouldn't it be a shame if I knew how great I was
[00:31]five minutes before I died i'd be filled with such regret
[00:35]before I took my last breath" and I said "you're willing to tell me this now
[00:40]and you're not going to die any time soon"
[00:44]and I said I haven't been eating chicken or meat or anything and you said yes
[00:49]but you've been wearing leather
[00:53]and laughed and said we're at the top of the food chain
[00:56]and yes you're still a fine woman and
[00:59]I cringed
[01:03]I was hoping
[01:06]I was hoping we could heal each other
[01:12]I was hoping
[01:15]I was hoping we could be raw together
[01:26]we left the restaurant where the head waiter (in his 60's) said
[01:30]"good-bye sir thank you for your business sir you're successful and established sir
[01:35]and we like the frequency with which you dine here sir
[01:38]and your money"
[01:43]and when I walked by they said "thank you too dear"
[01:47]I was all pigtails and cords
[01:49]and there was a day when I would've said something like
[01:53]"hey dude I could buy and sell this place
[01:57]so kiss it" I too once thought I was owed something
[02:02]I was hoping
[02:05]I was hoping we could challenge each other
[02:11]I was hoping
[02:15]I was hoping we could crack each other up
[02:20]I too thought that when proved wrong I lost somehow and
[02:25]I too once thought life was cruel
[02:29]it's a cycle really you think i'm withdrawing and guilt tripping you
[02:33]I think you're insensitive
[02:35]and I don't feel heard and I said do you believe we are
[02:38]fundamentally
[02:40]judgmental?
[02:42]fundamentally evil?
[02:46]and you said yes
[02:49]I said I don't believe in revenge
[02:51]in right or wrong good or bad you said
[02:53]"well what about that man that I saw handcuffed
[02:56]in the emergency room bleeding after beating his kid
[03:00]and she threw a shoe at his head.
[03:02]I think what he did was wrong
[03:05]and I would've had a hard time feeling compassion for him"
[03:09]I had to watch my tone for fear of having you feel judged.
[03:15]I was hoping
[03:18]I was hoping we could dance together
[03:24]I was hoping
[03:27]I was hoping we could be creamy together
