A Firm Kick

John Frusciante
A firm kick in the pants
This last chance to get things right
This was one time I closed an eye
Looked away from you
Look out for yourself tonight
Sometimes I have to get things right
I never meant what I said to you
Give up all the things that you love to do
Iâ"š¬â"ž¢d never guessed that youâ"š¬â"ž¢d do me wrong
Iâ"š¬â"ž¢ll never except that dance and song
A little time to adjust
Would be just what we need
Iâ"š¬â"ž¢ve meant to tell you what I think that you think
When I cross your mind
Forgone
Stressed at the light
Whatâ"š¬â"ž¢s wrong with being uptight
I never say what I intend to
But does it mean that much to you
Iâ"š¬â"ž¢d a close call with a glitch in time
Are you really that happy to be mine
No Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m not disguising
All that fighting
And dreams not coming true
I will play some light from the sun
The world by my side
And I will see dawn as a forlorn maiden in the sky
And I will play a song of thunder you may recognize
You make a never
Thatâ"š¬â"ž¢s forever
Knowing what you deny
When I revisit the past itâ"š¬â"ž¢s a blast
Iâ"š¬â"ž¢ve just gotta move on
Iâ"š¬â"ž¢ve just let down someone I relied on
And I donâ"š¬â"ž¢t see why
How'd we pretty up that speech
MC talking through me
Iâ"š¬â"ž¢ve never done what I set out to do
Donâ"š¬â"ž¢t come to me â"š¬â"ž¢cuz Iâ"š¬â"ž¢ll run from you
Left out of life would I really care
Not a whole lot
Thereâ"š¬â"ž¢s nothing for me there
Iâ"š¬â"ž¢ll never forget the limits that we set
Back when it was our moon
I never made a pretense of living with good sense
Itâ"š¬â"ž¢s really not my strong suit.
