Transformers by Brian Michael Henry

The last time I saw you, you had “The Naked and The Dead”
Said it was the longest book that you ever, ever read
The last time I saw you that old look was in your eyes
You bit your fingernails and then you scratched around your thighs
You said that it was the last time
Yeah you said, that it was the last time
I thought that we were the transformers
I thought that we were turning corners
Never in a million years did I think I’d be the one
The one of us to make it stick
The last time I saw you it was summer on the pier
You asked if I could take you anywhere but here
The last time I saw you it was such a different world
The last time I let you get me swirled
I said that this would be the last time
Yeah I said that it would be the last time
I thought that we were the transformers
I thought that we were turning corners
Never in a million years
Did I think you’d take it further
No way, oh baby, not a chance
Now I heard that you’re in mourning for your looks
You lost your place and you had to sell your books
The last time I saw you all of that was still a “yet”
The last timeI won’t forget
I thought that we were the transformers
Who knew that you were cutting corners
Never in a million years
Did I think I’d see the day
When you’d transform yourself away
