Infinite Scroll

Jess Williamson


They made the big announce
We all got so excited
It’s not showing up that counts
It’s being invited

You won’t see me at the wedding
Our friends keep us apart
And there is very little tenderness
For she who breaks a heart
For she who breaks a heart

You watched me laugh in the face of the clock
And fall down stairs with barely a knock
I was on one then, really leading the pack
Swearing love can’t die when I believed that
Time did unfold like an infinite scroll

It wasn’t so long ago
I was a lady with options
You’d be proud of how I'm living now
Something in me softened

I'm picturing you smiling
She’s dressed up by your side
I was never really quite on brand
But do you hold her hand?
Do you hold her hand?
Do you hold her hand?
Do you hold her hand?

You watched me laugh in the face of the clock
And fall down stairs with barely a knock
I was on one then, really leading the pack
Swearing love can’t die when I believed that
Time did unfold like an infinite scroll
