Valentine from 50 Songs by Shane Cooley

Valentine

Valentine in rewind
Show me to the glory days
Dirty little young mind
Hoping for a happy place
It’s time to quicken up that trigger finger
Time to pick up the pace
And gather up all you can muster
Look it straight in the face

If only
I could stay at home and go elsewhere too
If only
I could get around to all those things that I’m meant to do
But I live in a velvet rut
Down the rabbit hole

Spring fever in the summer
Such a bummer to do
When you’re getting on that same old train
Off the tracks run askew
It’s time to get back on track
And start on cue
And pick on up that second wind
The dog days are almost dog tired through
To the fall time blue

If only
I could be at home and go elsewhere too
If only
I could be strong enough to take good care of you
But I live in a velvet rut
Down the rabbit hole
I live in a velvet rut
Down the rabbit hole

If only
If only
If only

Valentine in rewind
Show me to the glory days
