lyrics

Marco Polo
Where are you, I don’t know
I am trying to find you
Where did you go

I didn’t mean to fly off the handle,
didn’t mean to drive you away
But to live with you hasn’t been easy,
The things that you put me through every day
But it don’t mean I want you to go
Marco Polo

Every morning you wake up before me
And come in and sit on my bed
Then you stare at me until I get up
And bug me until you get fed
Then you throw up on the kitchen floor

Marco, I’m sorry for losing my cool
I just want to see you come through the door

You sleep on the couch all day
Don’t listen to what I say
Then prowl around at night
Looking to pick a fight
Then you throw up on the bedroom floor

You follow on my heels
And you cry and you wail, but for what?
It’s really too much

Didn’t mean to take you for granted
Didn’t mean the repeated neglect
You were just trying to send me a message,
every time you were leaving your shit on my bed
Then I finally snapped
And you never came back

Marco, I’m sorry for doing you wrong
I just want to see you come home again

I shouldn’t have attitude
When you’re pacing from room to room
I could have been more at ease
With your idiosyncrasies

And I’m calling your name
And awaiting your answer
Marco Polo
