Purple Saturday Mornings
Saturday morning
 Eleven-thirty showers
 Fully equip in a
 Sports bra and yoga pants
 I’m not a poet
 Clearly ‘cause nothing rhymes
 Sorry about that, I’ll try to get
 Organized:
 
 ‘Cause if I could
 I’d show you everything
 I’d make you feel the pain
 Color you in the blues and reds of this heart
 That’s when the colors mix
 I’ve gone and spilled the paint
 I’m a bit of a klutz, so now what do I do?
 
 Saturday morning
 Birds chirping outside
 Thirty-five degrees
 Dead grass touching gray sky
 I’m getting it, you see
 I’m getting the hang of this
 Word-rhyming, phrase-flowing, song-writing thing
 “Am I rushing?”
 
 ‘Cause if I could
 I’d show you everything
 I’d make you feel the pain
 Color you in the blues and the reds of this heart
 That’s when the colors mix
 I’ve gone and spilled the paint
 I’m a bit of a klutz, so now what do I do?
 
 Saturday morning
 While the world prepares to
 Go out and party, I
 Play PTX in my room
 …
 I cross the bridge wondering where I was going with this
 “See what I did there? (Bridge)”
 
 ‘Cause if I could
 I’d show you everything
 I’d make you feel the pain
 Color you in the blues and the reds of this heart
 That’s when the colors mix
 I’ve gone and spilled the paint
 I’m a bit of a klutz –
 How do I find myself drowning in purple paint?
 Besides tell you the truth?
