Keeping Up - Douglas

I’m breathing, it’s harder now, with all the cigarettes I smoke

I’m drinking, not thinking straight

But then I’m sleeping all the time

I can’t relive the past, no matter how it used to be

To speak and dance again with you, to speak and to dream, like we used to

And everything that’s going about

Quit lagging, try keeping up

I could lie here all day, not move an inch for anyone, butterfly, better life,
