Comfortable and broken in

On days like these when I have had a frustrating day at work my mind wanders back to those days when I used to laugh with him and trade insults and discuss all silly and important stuff. It’s not that I want him back but those were happy days and so it’s much easier and perhaps cowardly to look at a time when it was good, rather than create new happy memories. I went to what used to be our favourite place. I was with two colleagues from work. The place is very basic and has no glamour to save itself but some of the happiest moments I had were there and some of the most important conversations were held there. Yet some of the most painful memories were also there. Irony. When I looked around it was not the bad memories but the good ones yet it looked different and at first it was a bit hard being with different people at this place where I used to be with him Soon all that was forgotten in the fun and laughter. I am a different person but this song reminds me of back then. Long conversations till 3am in the morning. And sometimes I just miss those silly conversation especially now when I am so frustrated that I could pull out all my hair out. So tonight I will go with the same people to a different place and create new memories.

JOHN MAYER-COMFORTABLE

I just remembered that time at the market
snuck up behind me and jumped on my shopping cart
and rolled down aisle five
you looked behind you to smile back at me
crashed into a rack full of magazines
they asked us if we could leave

I can't remember what went wrong last September
though I'm sure you'd remind me if you had to

our love was comfortable and so broken in

I sleep with this new girl I'm still getting used to
my friends all approve,
say "she's gonna be good for you"
they throw me high fives
she says the Bible is all that she reads
and prefers that I not use profanity
your mouth was so dirty

life of the party and she swears that she's artsy
but you could distinguish Miles from Coltrane

our love was comfortable and so broken in
she's perfect
so flawless
or so they say

she thinks I can't see the smile that she's faking
and poses for pictures that aren't being taken
I loved you
grey sweatpants
no makeup
so perfect

our love was comfortable and so broken in
she's perfect
so flawless
I'm not impressed
I want you back
