Entertaining Thoughts

It’s so cliché for a blogger to quote a song they like. Well, I’ll do you one better, Internet: I’ll quote the lyrics to the song, and I’ll give you a legal bootleg to listen to. It’s where I am right now, and well, yeah.

Entertaining Thoughts

I’ve been entertaining thoughts
Of what I wanna say to you
I’ve been entertaining thoughts
Of what I’m gonna do
I’ve been saving what I got
And wondering who to give it to
I’ve been entertaining thoughts all over you

The way this works is so mysterious
If it gets much worse it’s called delirious
If I were mad I would be furious
But this could be so much more than
Just another euphemism for…

I’ve been entertaining thoughts
Of what I wanna say to you
I’ve been entertaining thoughts
Of what I’m gonna do
I’ve been saving what I got
And wondering who to give it to
I’ve been entertaining thoughts all over you

You smoke your cigarette
And wonder if it’s happened yet
The heavens slowly part and you ascend
I wish that I could say that I’ll have no regrets
But I may have one of two
Or three or four more than you…

You will never even know
Till it hits you fool
Ooh, but I’m entertaining thoughts
All over you

And, like always, there are multiple ways in which this can be taken. You may choose to do so however you like.

[Also, on a personal note, sorry to have broken the site for a while to the point where comments wouldn't go. I really need to revamp GFMorris.com and breathe new life into its design so I'll feel like writing here more.]
