Short Story: NUKEKUBI DREAMING
Just finished the P150 chicken meal at Teriyaki Boy. God, the money you spend for food nowadays. Almost the same price for our movie ticket. But yeah, the movie we saw was stupid.
Question of the night: what superpower would you have?
You say you wish you could read people's thoughts.
Good answer.
People, realizing that it was indeed a good answer, they go: Oh yes, yes, I wish I'd have that power too.
I guess we're all too emotional nowadays. Read people's thoughts. Where's the fun in that? Me? I'm having too much fun just trying to figure you out. If you could read people's thoughts then there'd be no more secrets. No mysteries. No dark personas. Ooohh. You. Yeah, I wish I could your thoughts. What you're really saying now, what you really said then, what you mean by this and that. I guess too much fun.
What about you? What superpowers would you have?
All eyes on me now. Oh, I gotta say something cool - something deep and emotional.
Turn back time. Turn back time. Turn back time.
"Shape shift"
Sometimes we give away stupid answers so people won't figure us out completely. How I wish you gave away tons of stupid answers to me. Told you reading thoughts was no fun. But yeah, If I could just turn back time.
"Shape shift?"
"Yeah, shape shifting. Imagine, I could manipulate people to do what i want."
I never had what I want. Some things, you say just to yourself. Some people, you don't want others to hear. Like "hey, I wanna tell you something...I Lo...". Wouldn't want your friend to hear that.
Of course shape shifting isn't as cool as reading people's thoughts. That stuff is just too emotional, just can't top that one. But yeah, if I could just turn back time.
We go to Jack's Loft to get some beer. I don't know why we went there. I just go where they go. You, you don't drink much but you told me about 2 months ago you were a drunkard. See? If I could just read your thoughts. But if I could turn back time, I'd go for that.
Some things we say we really don't mean. Some things we say are metaphors. Some things we say, we say to make people think.
I look at you and you're a moving picture a mile away. Question and answer portion with friends isn't over. The beer's kinda kicking in, listening to them talk. Me? I'm still wishing to turn back time.
Rewind to about a year ago.
You've emptied the whole tissue box with your tears. I try to ask what's going on but you don't tell. How I wish I could read your mind right now. I move in closer to hold you but I don't. I pat your back. I tell you to cry. Just cry.
Some things we say are anti-cliche cliche. Reverse psychology stuff. I've never seen you cry like this.
Rewind more.
Do you like her?
No way man. We're just friends.
Some things we say, they come back to haunt us.
Fast forward to Jack's Loft.
Lookin' at myself at the mirror, I still wonder what things would be like if I had turned back time. Water bits dripping at the side of my cheeks. If I could just read your thoughts.
Yeah. If I could just read your thoughts. If I could have just read your thoughts then you wouldn't be telling me that you only consider me as a friend 2 months from now. I would be dreaming about you for 2 weeks after that. People wouldn't be asking what we talked about and where I go from there.
Yeah. If I could have just read your thoughts then I would know what you really meant when you said you were drunkard and you changed alot and this and that and everything. I wouldn't have gone sleepless for 4 months.
If I could have just read your thoughts then I could have said the right words and not just some anti-cliche cliche, reverse psychology stuff and pat you in the back.
If I could have just read your thoughts. Oh well, I guess it's too late to wish for that and now I'm wanting to turn back time.
Turn back time.
Kiss your lips.
Hold you warm.
Turn back time. Kiss your lips. Hold you warm.
Turn back time. Kiss your lips. Hold you warm.
Turn back time. Kiss your lips. Hold you warm.
Turn back time. Kiss your lips. Hold you warm.
Turn back time. Kiss your lips. Hold you warm. Make you mine.
Some things we say, we say until we sleep.
Some things we say, we say all night.
