On and On (not the Jack Johnson song)
Old lovers are one of the most constant inspirations of mine, among many other things, especially the recent ones that fucked you over.  Songs like this aren't the most complex things I've ever written, but their still fun as shit to play!

V1
She's slippin' in and out of my mind
She's keepin' everyone in check
She'd sell her namesake for the right kind
She's the devil breathin' down your neck

I'll close my eyes while you undress so calmly
I'll try to keep my mind on somthin' else
But you know it's hard not to make you feel so lonely
The longest bridge couldn't keep you from yourself

Chorus
So I sit here longin' for a sunrise
While the moon is drawin' nigh
But I'm only looking through my good eye
So I'm only seein' half the prize
And all that treasure on the east-side
That I'll never ever look upon
All that beggin' for a free ride
Oh, the beggin' goes on and-
On and on and on and on, (2x)
On and on and on and on it goes

(guitar interlude)

V2
She's creepin' there under the stage light
She loves it when her strings are pulled
See her sittin', readin' by the lamplight
But you know she's still nobody's fool

So in and out and up upon the rooftops
Is where the woman again became a girl
Done with surfers, football, booze and tube-tops
Her inner-outsides again start to unfurl
[repeat chorus] 

Bridge
Set "if" forward, and set it free, set a place for you and me
At the table of the past, with all the Tonto's that kiss her ass
Set "if" forward, and set it free, save a ride for do re mi
Easy as pie is a piece of cake, but it's shitty bakin' and it's done been ate

Chorus
So I'll sit here beggin' for a sunrise
While your moon is passin' by
But I'm finnaly usin' all my eyesight
So I'll be damned if I'm left behind
Cause now I can finnaly taste the rainbow
In black and violet, pink and blue
Findin' god was just a scapegoat
That led me in and out (of you)
And on and on and on and on (2x)
On and on and on and on it goes, it goes, it's goin, goin, gone
