Borrowed Guitar

Well I’m sitting here in the dark
Playing on a borrowed guitar
Melodies and harmonies 
suggested by the open strings
But I don’t know which ones to play
Because I don’t have anything to say.

Sitting next to me is my walkman:
Indie rock on a tape
Jealousies and heartbreak 
pouring from an open vein
But I don’t know if I can play
Because I don’t have anything to say.
