Bookends Lyrics by Feeny

Between the Bookends

0

You were looking beautiful last night as we walked down Easton Ave
Suddenly I was drawn from the moment
I wanted to enjoy this but I can't
It’s 2 AM the pipes are howling
I glide from you on pine that murmurs of my wandering
So you wake to comfort me
To mask your guilt so desperately
I bite my cheek to keep from smiling
You can't have what you wanted
So you settle settle
Stack me on the shelf
Leave me by myself
Give me volumes of letters to read
Give me breathing holes to breathe
I'll admit that in the end
You were better as a friend
Though I'd do it all again
I'm between the bookends
I languish in my cell tonight
And dwell on what could never be
Even though I disagree
I acquiesce to keep the peace
And stoke the fragile hope that you stay away from me
You can't have what you wanted
So you try and settle
Stack me on the shelf
Leave me by myself
Give volumes of letters to read
Give me breathing holes to breathe
I'll admit that in the end
You were better as a friend
Though I'd do it all again
I'm between the bookends
I collected dust for years
Fulfilling all my fondest fears
Departing from your atmosphere
A voyage that brings me to tears
Cuz I'm between the bookends
This is something I can't say (change your mind)
But I see no other way (change your mind)
I will not beg you to stay (change your mind)
This is something I can’t change (Change your mind)
This is something I can't change
Hearts beat in reverie
In a dream you were with me
You'll live in memory
Do you ever think of...
