Toilet Paper Love Letter

So, I don't know about you, but I noticed that I don't post the lyrics of my songs up very often.
This is Toilet Paper Love Letter,
and it's one of the songs that I like a bit more than the rest.
So far, it's only been performed live once, and it hasn't been recorded.
Gen, Van and Ci Wei who I hardly see these days were part of the group that got to hear it, alongside Victor, Vicky, Mommy and Janice who're aaaaaalways there(:
Everytime Gen's seen me since then, she always starts warbling bits of it and I get superbly embarrassed but she tells me, wide-eyed and honest that she really really likes the song, and that's the only reason she does that.
Funny, that.

So anyway, just in case you wanted to know,
I actually wrote this in the loo.
I took my notebook and pen in and hogged the cubicle until I was done.

Hopefully, I'll get to perform this at the Vineyard Loft event on May 4th. I'd really like you to hear it, whoever you turn out to be.

Enough.


Toilet Paper Love Letter

This, this is my
This is my toilet paper love letter
To, a lover who’s not real
Kiss, kisses of
Kisses of drunken stupor
Commitments made in the dark
The sound of breaking hearts

Can you fall in love with dreams?
Live in castles built in the sky?
Smell the roses that you pick,
Listen to Janis Ian and not cry?
Oh the lights, have they been dimmed?
Maybe we were all pretense
I could fall in love with this dream
But toilet paper love letters
Weren’t meant to be sent

This, this is my
This is my toilet paper love letter
To, a lover, non-existent
Lipstick-mirror writings
About a love, that isn’t

Numbers written on
Written on serviettes
Cell phones ringing with calls that won’t come
Realization, that comes with the sun

Can you fall in love with dreams?
Live in castles built in the sky?
Smell the roses that you pick,
Listen to Janis Ian and not cry?
Oh the lights, have they been dimmed?
Maybe we were all pretense
I could fall in love with this dream
But toilet paper love letters...

Can cold nights make you fall in love?
Promises be wrote in the sand?
Fingerprints left on your skin,
By an imaginary hand
Oh the candle, it’s blown out
Perhaps we were only pretense
I could fall in love Just tonight,
Because toilet paper love letters,
Toilet paper love letters
Weren’t meant to be
sent
