Janitor's waltz

Love was a way out
when you used to get along
"Go on and stay out"
is the past two days strong
If you found some way
to keep it on a chain
Tethered easy and tame
For long
Could you really explain for long
Sounding out the words
out when the painting says it all
Betting on confirms
but you're cleaning out the stalls
If you found some way
to keep it in a vein
Tethered easy and tame
For long
Could you really explain for long
Found someplace
Far from every trace
Far from every face you know.
Keep it on the books
when your table isn't strong
Studying the crooks
who steal like nothings wrong
If you're bound to stay
but have to pick a lane,
Could you really explain
for long
Pianos play out
the theme to moving on
Doing someone right while you're doing someone wrong
And you add in fades of what was never there
