Holler and Wave

I wanna put my arms around you
And find the words to burst
The malaise that pursued you
And got to you the first

Remember we were fishing
That shiny spinning lure?
That's what words are like
I caught nothing and no more

They say we burn bridges
But what of that phrase?
Bridges were something
Back in the day
Sever the bindings
And then walk away
Now we stand on the banks
And still holler and wave

The booze is there to greet you
By the breakfast table spoon
The feed beneath your fingers
Off-hand baiting and abuse

I wanna put my arms around you
Trade a sorry for your gun
That's what words are like
We always want the final one

They say we burn bridges
But what of that phrase?
Bridges were something
Back in the day
Sever the bindings
And then walk away
Now we stand on the banks
And still holler and wave
