She wore long brown hair and quirky clothes
She loved the fact wherever she’d go
Would be overlooked by guys she didn’t know

But that Summer’s evening in Mid-July
Amongst the arseholes telling lies
She saw her genuine guy

Well his name was carl and behind that smile
Saw humour, youth and a quirky style
And she figured she’d give him her time for a while

Now 10 years later with wedding bells,
Their family surround them to wish them well
And the life for two were on their way

“A little more love in a little less time and I’ll be fine
Cos my insecurities they are just, stacking up high
And the world I knew was with you
Still when I make to eat, I make for two”

Past the time when technology outgrew them
Another life was born unto them
Years they spent, teaching, learning
Well she grew character, and now they’re yearning

With crosswords on the kitchen table
Their love need no label
They’d just, rest where they lay
Pick their brains till the day

And on Carl’s last night, he had no worries no frights
He’d just confide in her heart
Until day came they’d part

Now his absence just leaves silence
And his silence just leaves tears
She’ll sit by that kitchen table
Listing all her fears

“A little more love in a little less time and I’ll be fine
Cos my insecurities they are just, stacking up high
And the world I knew was with you
Still when I make to eat, I make for two

It’s the ones that surround us with thoughts and opinions that inspire
Will broaden our minds and only take us higher
We got what we loved so damn right, we loved what we got
It’s my favourite bittersweet end.”
