While You Love Me

Music & Lyrics by
Greg Lastrapes

Me & Stella in my pickup,
Parked on a hill under starlit skies,
I stare down at the city below,
She rests her head gently on my thigh.
She tells me the secrets that no one else hears.
I tell her some jokes and she laughs through her tears.
Me & Stella & all these years.

Me & Stella on the telephone,
Cities apart in our underwear,
Share our thoughts on the nature of love,
And our careers and the clothes we wear.
She says, “Babe, you’re the sweetest guy I’ve ever seen,
But the chicks won’t respond ’til you learn to be mean.”
Me & Stella & our smokescreens.

Me & Stella at the Harbor House,
Negotiating her broken heart,
Only recently imposed upon
Then meticulously picked apart.
She has learned reckless love doesn’t tend to be true,
And even messiahs can let you down, too.
Me & Stella & shades of blue.

In a life ripe with options and chances
I’m sorry for the ones  that resist,
Because to live without failure and pain
Is merely to exist.

Me & Stella on the futon,
Light up some incense and roll some scraps.
Language flows like an oil spill
In our slick, undulating rap.
We talk of Lolita and time machines,
We talk about maybe fulfilling some dreams.
Me & Stella & our hill of beans.
