Stupid, yes, I know.
I overthought it until it was overblown.
I didn’t see the waves,
Until they washed over me.
And she glided into the sea,
As I caught her older eye.
“Espalda roja,”
She called out to me.
It reminded me at the bar,
When you gave me Spanish lessons
Over some cania,
Before I broke your heart.
She calmed me for a while,
With that ruby red smile,
But you were closing in,
And I was counting down the miles...
Perfect Spanish crimes are forever,
When you're playing in the sea with Marcella,
I'm writing all my thoughts down on your friend’s beer receipts,
I’d like to talk to you, but oh, just forget it.
Just forget it.
Notebook in my hand,
I played detective in the summer sun,
Ticking off the sights,
You wrote down for me.
I caught her spying there,
From high on the castle wall,
Bespectacled,
And all alone.
I’d find her on your trail,
Almost everywhere,
Wrapped in floral,
And the whitest tennis shoes.
The Mediterranean burned,
With every winding aisle,
But I was hoping that she’d lead me,
To your silver hair and smile.
Perfect Spanish crimes are forever,
When you're playing in the sea with Marcella,
I'm writing all my thoughts down on your friend’s beer receipts,
I’d like to talk to you, but just forget it.
Just forget it.

When Teaching Abroad

"To the islands we will go,
and we'll take that rusted boat.
We will swing from ancient trees,
Forget we’re teachers and pretend we’re teens!"
You're drinking iced beer on the beach,
The waves are lapping at your feet,
Oh, those lesson plans can wait,
You've got to find yourself today.
Give her cola for that swollen tongue,
Send a message and say it’s still fun,
The American watches cartoons in your bed,
You’re more a tourist than a nomad.
You make origami for the kids,
While you organize all your trips,
The head of School gives you the side eye,
But she will never live your life.
Ride the tuk-tuks,
Chew on insects,
Assess their progress,
Just like your ex did,
See the temples,
Candles on the river,
Stay a lesson,
Ahead of the kids,
Amateur electro bands,
Bathed in neon lights,
Meet the Irish,
Another dalliance,
And when you come back,
Under the grey skies,
I’ll ask of Thailand,
Oh man, you’re so wild.
