Pierre
Ryn Weaver Lyrics

I danced in the desert, in the pouring rain
I lived my life spontaneously with a carefree attitude.

Drank with the devil and forgot my name
I indulged in hedonistic behavior without any feelings of guilt or shame.

Woke with somebody when the morning came
I never gave any thought to my actions and the consequences that came with it.

No one there to shame me for my youth
I was young and naive, but there was no one to lecture or criticize me.

'Cause I wouldn't be with you
I lived life to the fullest without being tied down by anyone or anything.

And then I found me a lover who could play the bass
I found someone who shares my interests and passions in life.

He's kinda quiet, but his body ain't
Although he's not very vocal, his physical attributes make up for it.

Spend the days dreaming and the nights awake
We spent our time together living in the moment and enjoying life.

Doin' things we know we shouldn't do
We took risks and did things we probably shouldn't have done, but we did them anyway.

'Cause I wouldn't be with you
I was living life on my own terms and not compelled by any other person.

Says he can't believe he found me
The man I came across was very lucky to find me.

Wraps his arms around me
He was physically affectionate with me.

I can't let him in
Although things were going well, I couldn't afford to let anyone into my life.

You call me up and ask me how I've been
You checked in on me, possibly with intentions of rekindling our past.

I'll call your bluff and
I was aware of what you were trying to do, and I wasn't buying it.

Keep on telling, telling, telling you lies
I continued to deceive you by giving false information about my life.

No, I can't let him in
I couldn't welcome you into my new life, despite your attempts to reach out.

You play me rough, but I won't let you in
Your previous behavior towards me wasn't met with good reception, nor did it earn you a place in my current life.

Oh, count down to the day they may come true
I was waiting for something to happen or for someone to come along that will change everything.

And I fell for a vagabond, a month at tops
I was with someone for a brief period, who didn't have a permanent residence or occupation.

Lied and said his bike was in the "motor shop"
The man I was with, even had to lie about his mode of transportation.

Drove my car once and made the tire pop
I let him borrow my car, and he ended up causing damage to it.

Still we had some fun, till I came to
We enjoyed each other's company, but I soon realized that the situation wasn't sustainable.

'Cause I wouldn't be with you
I didn't need to be with anyone specific to find happiness in life.

On the Fourth of July, I met a man, Pierre
I met someone on a holiday that I felt a connection with.

Lied about his age, but I didn't care
I overlooked his dishonesty because I liked him.

Spoke in broken English but the heart was there
Despite the language barrier, his heart was in the right place.

In those eyes of sky and ocean blue
I was drawn to his captivating blue eyes.

'Cause I wouldn't be with you
I couldn't be tied down by anyone, including you.

I'm still so dow-ow-ow-ow-own
Despite the new people in my life, I still feel a bit melancholic.

I'll come around
At some point, I'll get over this and move on with my life.
