Old melancholy

and so i see you for the first time
in almost three years
and i'm thrilled to hear
you're fine

a playboy prince
and teenage icon
your mood reflecting
the agony of a nation

can we meet at starbucks baby
for a paper cup of iced coffee
and a sip of cold melancholy.
Would you join me?

and i listen as you
illuminate your needs
and i let you go ahead-
impeach my security

let you recall our common
history of bad odds
and picture a recreation
holiday on ko pha ngan

we've joined here in evolution
the tensions are high
but we've learned a lot
we've really learned a lot.
