Joe vs the criket

100 faces stare at me.
Everybody wants and everybody needs.
The neon lights, our somber glare.
I feel myself become aware.

Remember whatever you do,
hits me hard, but stays with you.
No regrets, just think it through.
It seems that everything is changing.
I know that's the way it has to be.
I know people are rearranging.
What used to be life to you and me.
Now please don't you go paraphrasing.
Just tell me what you mean.
Running away won't solve a thing.

What if it was me who came to you?
Put yourself for a second in my shoes.
Through the haze, I know that you're not right.
So I'm begging you to put up a fight
