Someday I Might Learn (Dargan)

Your late night, overnight visitor's free pass
Begets well shorn, early morning pizza
Just say the word and I will stay, usher in this holiday
You draw the map and I'll pull around to meet ya

One for me, two for you, I don't know just what to do
Hard to start a campfire when the kindling will not burn
Three that you've waited for sits outside your bedroom door
Someday you might tell me, and someday I might learn

I watch you drop your tiny hints as April moonlight gently glints
Off the buckles of the straps that would hold my self-control
You lift your hand to seize the day, find your keys but lose your way
Gasp for one last thing to say, then take off on a roll

This golden opportunity is never to return

You fired a spark but it missed, it's your neck I should have kissed
And your eyes say "stupid boy, what are you waiting for?"
And now my hands are stuck, like my wheels and like my luck
I'm still sleeping in my truck and you are halfway out the door

The game is nearly over, I'm still waiting for my turn
When you Sing like Billie Holiday and look like Laura Dern
