WANT AD
Words by K. Adkins

As of this morning your mom was still dead
At least that's what the newspaper man said
Shake the alarm and wake your sleepy head

Took too long before I hit send
So now you think you know what I meant
Like every truly love this semester will end

Took out a want ad
Dictate exactly what I want to see
Looking for a post-grad
With a minor in philosophy

Took out a want ad
Now you know what to expect from me
Looking for a post-grad
With her heart set on a PhD

If we wait much longer we’re sure to reach land
I remember Columbus, his feet upon the sand
It’s a whole new world and I a whole new man

Took out a want ad
Dictate exactly what I want to see
Looking for a post-grad
With a minor in philosophy

Took out a want ad
Now you know what to expect from me
Looking for a post-grad
With her heart set on a PhD

Sometimes it takes more than a simple word
Drifting back and forth between a pen and the sword
Before we slept we had plan in place
Need you back NOW, I can no longer wait
…I can no longer wait

It’s too late for sleeping
But you're still in bed
It's like you never heard what I said

Took out a want ad
Dictate exactly what I want to see
Need you as my post-grad
With a minor in philosophy

Took out a want ad
Now you know what to expect from me
Need you as my post-grad
With your heart set on a PhD

Took out a want ad
Dictate exactly what I want to see
Why can’t you find you way back?
Following the words to me

Took out a want ad
I know that you’ll come back to me
Hate to see you so sad
I’m waiting on a bended knee
