lyrics
i see you're late in your reply
and it's left me wondering
if i'd have been better off if i
had simply never said anything
a couple of words in an angry fray
were all that it took to make you leave
and now i'm standing here tonight
in this lonely laundromat
washing these teardrops from my sleeve
oh, karina
i can close my eyes and drink of your vision
oh, karina
you can flash that smile and i'll still be smitten
oh, karina
you'll be leaving town come graduation day
you never owed me anything
i didn't come seeking payment
i just wanna ask you one or two things
before your feet hit the pavement
a couple of words in an empty hall
where none of your sisters can hear me talk
and i can say each thing i meant to
tell you on the day i
found you on the gallery walk
oh, karina
i would take this pain over this confusion
oh, karina
guess i'm drowning here in my own delusion
oh, karina
and you're leaving town come graduation day
i wish i'd had more to say than,
"hey, how you doin'?
this gift is for you and
i'm glad i got to see you, have a nice day,"
but sometimes we can plan for weeks
or even months
when confrontation comes
our expectations just get in the way
oh, karina
no matter how i try i can't shake this vision
oh, karina
you're clouding up my brain like nuclear fission
oh, karina
and i'm glad you're leaving graduation day
and it's left me wondering
if i'd have been better off if i
had simply never said anything
a couple of words in an angry fray
were all that it took to make you leave
and now i'm standing here tonight
in this lonely laundromat
washing these teardrops from my sleeve
oh, karina
i can close my eyes and drink of your vision
oh, karina
you can flash that smile and i'll still be smitten
oh, karina
you'll be leaving town come graduation day
you never owed me anything
i didn't come seeking payment
i just wanna ask you one or two things
before your feet hit the pavement
a couple of words in an empty hall
where none of your sisters can hear me talk
and i can say each thing i meant to
tell you on the day i
found you on the gallery walk
oh, karina
i would take this pain over this confusion
oh, karina
guess i'm drowning here in my own delusion
oh, karina
and you're leaving town come graduation day
i wish i'd had more to say than,
"hey, how you doin'?
this gift is for you and
i'm glad i got to see you, have a nice day,"
but sometimes we can plan for weeks
or even months
when confrontation comes
our expectations just get in the way
oh, karina
no matter how i try i can't shake this vision
oh, karina
you're clouding up my brain like nuclear fission
oh, karina
and i'm glad you're leaving graduation day

about
Paul Tabachneck New York
I started doing music in Pittsburgh, fronting the folk-rock band Stone Soup, the dark-pop band Dead Pressed Flowers, and the Power Pop band Manpig aka Everybody Wins. After that, I moved to New York, mostly playing solo and busking a lot. Now I live in CT and play in my home office because everything is bad and no one can go out. See me Wednesdays at 7:30 at facebook.com/paultab! ... more
