You

You

By

Nathan Caleb Camerer

I bet you think this is about you
And you're right,
But who are you?
It could be you
Or you
Or you
20 years has made a list that's long and distinguished
I still love you,
But I'm not the one who will break your heart
That's the one who put that ring on your finger
Now you know this is about you,
But who are you?
It could be you
Or you
Or you
Or you
The one I made watch my favorite movie
I held your hand in the hospital
I liked it when you cut your hair
I still remember what you were wearing that first night
Coffee and cigarettes
Chit chats and art
This is about you,
But who are you?
It could be you
Or you
Or you
Or you
Or you
Waking up next to you was heaven
Falling asleep next to you was a dream
I just want to hold your hand,
But I can't
The one who put a ring on your finger gets those pleasures now
I wrote this about you,
But who are you?
It could be you
Or you
Or you
Or you
Or you
Or you

Give Me A Reason

Give Me A Reason

By

Nathan Caleb Camerer

Give me a reason to love you
I'll give you a reason to be my woman
24 hours
24 days
24 weeks
24 months
24 years
You make the call
Shoot me with your bow and arrow
Don't give my heart away
Those other girls play rough
Give me a reason to love you
I'll give you a reason to be my woman
My bed roll is under your bed
That says more than words
Give me a reason to leave it there
Give me a reason to stay
That look says I should go
Give me a reason to love you
I'll give you a reason to be my woman

Drinks

Drinks

By

Nathan Caleb Camerer

Run a finger down your back
Find the small of it
Twirl your hair
Nervously play with those earrings
I won't judge,
But I'll buy the drinks
You go for a ride,
I'll go for another round
Mutually assured destruction because of too many mutual friends,
But I'm just enjoying the colors on your walls
Trying to buy a ticket,
But the historical line is too long and crooked
Echoes of the past written on our skin
I see you
I'm not brown,
But what can I do for you?
Buy me another round
I'll buy you a new shirt
Don't pause me
Don't mute me
Those echoes will recede
You just need to turn it up to eleven
I'll turn it down to 56
Your pierced nipples and black tattoos,
They make me feel like the wagon wheel you're rocking
You rock me
I see you
Work the room
Flirt to convert
I'm still not judging,
But I'm still buying the drinks
Trying to not ruffle your feathers
Trying to make them my comforter
Searching for the right words in this bottle of Rhum
Betty keeps distracting me
Truth is that I've seen you for awhile
Tell me you see me too
Tell me anything
I'll buy the drinks
I won't judge
How many songs have been written about you?
Easier to write than to vocalize
Easier to keep just buying drinks
I'll buy you a drink
I won't judge
