"Wrote Yr. Name on a Wall"

A song by Paul Rust

Wrote yr. name on a wall

In a shopping mall

Read it from your car real fast

Driving past

Scratched my name in wax

With some 8-inch tacks

I read it off the TV screen

You wiped clean

And we wrote the words to anticipate

We wrote the words to something great

We wrote the words to arrive

Words that made our hearts alive

You came on my sheets

And I sweat from the heat

You left your scent in my bed

And in my head

And we dreamt beside one another

That we would love and care for each other

And we would write in spit on our hearts,

"Baby, baby, dear, we shall never part."

You said you’d call me back

You never called me back

You said you’d write me back

You never wrote me back

I keep checkin’ my machine

I keep refreshin’ my machine

Hopin’ my machine

will say, "Come back to me…"

But it never does
