You and Me and Our Wicked Ways

There is no demo for this song.

Liner Notes

Sitting in the waiting room at my son’s 30 minute drum lesson. Saw a skirmish just started — hand stuck in the toilet? Hmm. If I go somewhere not literal…

Well, every relationship ends up in the toilet sometimes. Hope we can make it through.

Lyrics

Let’s not try to tame each other Little bit of live ‘n’ let em live Save a touch of fight for the middle of the night When it’s harder to remember to forgive

You and me and my wicked ways You and me for the balance of our days Sittin’ on the sofa with the plastic cover over Leavin’ condensation circles on the window sill It don’t hurt yet — but it will

I’m not gonna be your answer Get yourself a book of maps But you bet I’ll cook a little ‘n’ sometimes be your pillow, Hold you when we need a nap

You and me and your wicked ways You and me for the balance of our days Sittin’ on the sofa with the plastic cover over Leavin’ condensation circles on the window sill It don’t hurt yet — but it will

Wrote a note already on a paper plate with Sharpie Read it when this thing goes south Put it in your nightstand Some days flow like quicksand Baby, kiss me on the mouth

You and me and our wicked ways You and me for the balance of our days Sittin’ on the sofa with the plastic cover over Leavin’ condensation circles on the window sill It don’t hurt yet — but it will

We might just make it, still

Excellent lyrics! Great imagery, and I love the little mini-cycle rhymes inside the big ones. I can clearly picture this.

@ally_nicole 2025

Really nice imagery here! I love the depth of your lyrics, I love songs with specific little moments that can mean so much more in the long run of the song's theme. Great job! :)

WOW, this this this! "Sittin’ on the sofa with the plastic cover over Leavin’ condensation circles on the window sill It don’t hurt yet — but it will" Holy COW that's some great lyricism!

@wcentennial 2025

Please say you are rhyming sofa with over! That's awesome. I'm embarrassed for taking the prompt to serious lol! Good job

@hmstreetteam 2025

A super gritty love song, I guess. I love the consistency and clarity in the point of view and all the little details of the picture.

@cindyrella 2025

Great details-like the Sharpie and paper plates! Clever and so much truth too!

@frankb 2025

Pretty bleak picture. A lot of give and take? Well, some, anyway. I like the little word changes in the chorus (my, your, our). I'd like to hear it put to music!

@robinleaf 2025

I really love all the little details you have packed into this. Gorgeous poetry, love the bit about the condensation circles. Please tag me if you post a demo! I still have to get around to listening to your other ones. I will!
