CATEGORIES - Alanna

I’m searching for a category
To put you in
Somewhere between a lover
A stranger and an old friend

Searching for a category
A word to match perfectly
That’ll join the dots
Between you and me

Friends is oversimplified
Things haven’t been like that for a while
Boyfriend, girlfriend, inverted commas friend
Do you really think we qualify?

I’m searching for a category
To put you in
So I’ve got something to say when they ask me
What ya doing with him?

Searching for a category
Yet seems we can’t agree
How to define the quality
Of you and me.

Cos us could be anyone you
Talk to on a bus
I don’t wanna go round and round in circles with all that
That what about us stuff and your
One true love
What an unforgiveable lie
Lovers is too dramatic
I’m sure you’ve had it up to here
With all my semantics.

But I’m searching for a category
To put you in
So I’ve got something to say when you ask me
Is this the beginning
Or an end
Or an end
Or the end?

Cos a partner is a person
You enter into business with
You sign with
You do crime with
You do time with
And then you ride hell for leather
Through a black and white western flick with but it’s

It’s not you and me
It never could be
You and me
It doesn’t hit the spot
Doesn’t join the dots
On what we’ve got
You and me

Cos every time I love
It just kind of grows up around me
Guess we just wait and see
What spot they allot
For you and me.
