There Is

This vacation's useless
These white pills aren't kind

I've given a lot of thought
on this 13 hour drive
I miss the grinded concrete
where we sat past 8 or 9
And slowly finished laughing
In the glow of our headlights.

I've given a lot of thought
to the nights we used to have
The days have come and gone
Our lives went by so fast

I faintly remember breathing
on your bedroom floor
Where I laid and told you,
but you swear you loved me more

Do you care if I
don't know what to say
Will you sleep tonight
or will you think of me
Will I shake this off
pretend its all okay
That there someone out there
who feels just like me
There is

Those notes you wrote me
I've kept them all
I've given a lot of thought
of how to write you back this fall
With every single letter
in every single word
There will be a hidden message
about a boy that loves a girl

Do you care if I
Don't know what to say
Will you sleep tonight
Or will you think of me
Will I shake this off
Pretend its all okay
That there's someone out there
Who feels just like me
There is

Do you care if I
Don't know what to say?
Will you sleep tonight
Or will you think of me?
Will I shake this off?
Pretend its all okay
That there's someone out there
Who feels just like me

Do you care if I
Don't know what to say?
Will you sleep tonight
Or will you think of me
Will I shake this off
Pretend its all okay
That there's someone out there
Who feels just like me
There is

Torpedo Panggang

Di Spanyol, setelah pertandingan matador usai, banteng
yang kalah langsung dipotong dan dijadikan berbagai
masakan di sebuah restoran yang cukup terkenal.

Menu favorit yang ada adalah torpedo panggang, yang
biasanya menjadi rebutan para penggemarnya. Oleh
karena itu, harga masakan ini jauh lebih mahal daripada
yang lain, karena sesuai hukum ekonomi, permintaan
banyak sedangkan persediaan sedikit (kan torpedo
banteng juga cuma sepasang . . . ). Jadilah perebutan
menu khusus tersebut selalu berlangsung seru setiap
selesai pertandingan matador.

Suatu ketika, seorang pelanggan mencak-mencak
kebakaran jenggot, karena merasa porsi yang dibelinya
dengan sangat mahal terasa sangat kecil dibandingkan
hari-hari sebelumnya.

Tamu : " Hei . . . apa-apaan nih . . . . gue udah sangat
sering makan torpedo panggangmu di sini ! Baru kali ini
gue dapet torpedo sekecil ini . . . . . . "

Pelayan: " Anuuu tuan . . . . . . apakah tuan tidak tahu,
bahwa pertandingan sore tadi, yang menang adalah
bantengnya tuan ? ? ? ? ? "
