In another life I’d be there

Kissing the acrid THC

My frozen feet held tight

Caution to the wind

Guitar in hand

In another life I’d be there

Free to be me

Wild, expressive

Maybe I’d write

More than just trash

In another life

I wouldn’t think about consequence

I’d drink and fuck ‘til the sun came up

And then I’d do it again

In this other life

I’d have a lover who could be

Just that

And break these binding chains

Holding me back

In another life

I’d care what not a soul thought

Not even my own

I’d be impulsive

Me

This other life

The best thing I ever did

An illusion

A dream

I’ll always know

It could have been reality
