Tanzania by Finn Hansbury

Laying on the tarmac
Hoping that you’ll come back
Maybe it’ll be today
Counting all the grass blades
Screwing on my head straight
Wondering if you’re ok
Are you ok?

Fighting off a fever
Ignorant believer
Hating that you left the states
Crying to my best friend
“Genevieve, I love him”
She says you’ll never change
But could you change?

Off in Tanzania
Wishing I could see ya
Thinking ‘bout you every day
Missing how you loved me
Wanna hear a “sorry”
Waiting for the day you say
“You’re worth the wait”

Oh, you’re worth the wait

Reaching out to see how
You’re holding up now
Trying to get out the gray
Messaging a brick wall
Praying for your downfall
It’s the only saving grace
To saving face

Hoping you’re in Boston
Saying, “God, I lost him”
Knowing that it’s not that way
Following your new plan
Kissing on a new man
Knowing that he’ll never taste
The way I taste
