Jesse Abraham - Play On lyrics

rate me

(v1)

And so I felt that,

I could melt that ice that had sheltered round my little heart

At age ten was dealt some brittle cards

So I looked to women to warm me up

I put a note in her cubby

"i think I like like you, if you like like me check the box next to yes and we could be tight"

she said, "Yes"

Success!

I was quite hyped

it’s the fifth grade

I was Adam, she’s my rib cage

I was an atom, she’s the membrane

I wasn’t that obsessed with slap bracelets

Ok, yes I was, and yes I had braces

I even fronted like I cared about stickers

Fuzzies and oilies, the girls were all about em

At lunch my table was always crowded

“Watch me spin this dreidle,” I shouted

(hook)

if music be the food of love, then play on

(v2)

I got older

Writing this girl’s name on my folder

I told her the same thing I tell you

And that’s everything

Writing poetry so she notice me hopefully

Girls getting bagged like groceries

But to me that ain’t the way that it’s supposed to be

Introduced my best friend to the love of my life

And then they started dating, and it fucked up my life For a minute became a bit of a cynic

Wasn’t in it to win it

And I dressed like Dennis the Menace on the Apprentice if he was playing tennis against a dentist in Venice,

ok now I’m exaggerating a tad

Graduatin from masterbating was rad

The fascination of imagination had passed

But my high school was frightful

the vibe, it was sad

And college?

I think you’ve heard enough about that

(hook)

if music be the food of love, then play on

x8

(v3)

If love is blind then I was Hellen Keller

Or Anne Frank,

a cellar dweller hiding from independence

For years she seemed so heaven sent

But it was evident that merriment was missing

we were each other’s medicine and vision,

I stayed reticent and wishing

That we would be the couple that I knew we could be

She was megan, we grew equally

But we also grew apart

sayin "peace" isn’t easy

but, shit, sometimes it’s gotta happen

This was round the time that I started hitting stages

Now girls approachin me as if I was rich and famous

But the fact is I was still switching phases

An ignoramus, now I’m playin the field

I’m just playin a game, these girls playin for real

Maybe ain’t the way it should be just the way that I feel

it's like

(hook)

if music be the food of love, then play on
