Gemini

I had a mem’ry at my parents’ house yesterday
Found an old picture and it flashed through my head
Me, six or seven, and this girl was named Gemini
Or so I remember, or so I forget.

I couldn’t tell you what color her hair was
(This picture I noticed, it wasn’t of her)
And I couldn’t say now just what her last name was,
This girl that I talked to sometimes in first grade.

I just recall
Not knowing what to say
She’d want it all
And I wouldn’t play

I’ll tell you what I think
When I’ve had some time to let it sink in
I’ll have something to say
If you ask me another time, some other day

I guess it’s a pattern, all through my life now
Not knowing the answers cuz I can’t decide
I keep on thinking I’ll find all the reasons
When they don’t exist outside of my mind

It feels like a problem that’s slowly developed
Annoyingly building up worse over time
But then I remembered about this girl Gemini
And didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry

I just recall
Not knowing how to feel
She’d ask me when
I’d decide for real

I’ll tell you what I think
When I’ve had some time to let it sink in
I’ll have something to say
If you ask me another time, some other day
	
Maybe in third grade I’ll know how to answer
Maybe by that time I’ll feel equipped
Maybe tomorrow I’ll make a decision
Maybe next week I could tell you a bit
Maybe in third grade I’ll know how to answer
Maybe by that time I’ll feel okay
Maybe tomorrow I’ll make a decision
Maybe the next time I’ll know what to say

I’ll tell you what I think
When I’ve had some time to let it sink in
I’ll have something to say
If you ask me another time, some other day
