lyrics

I said “I don’t know where the keys are”
You laughed and said “you’re so funny”
When we ate dinner and the waiter brought over the check
I pretended like I had no money

You said “let me guess
You left it in the truck”
Then I pulled out my wallet
And dramatically said “What luck!”

Little jokes
To make you smile
Hit my head
As it hits the tile
I miss you a lot
Once in a while

I said “don’t trip” as you walked in the bedroom
Then I threw you face-first on the bed
Your back was sweaty because you had just worked out
Our blanket was blue or maybe it was red

I pretended I
Was a tickle zombie
You laughed and yelled “STOP”
But you didn’t stop me

Little jokes
To make you smile
Hit my head
As it hits the tile
I miss you a lot
Once in a while

When your Mom asked “when will you ask her”
I said “probably when our kid gets braces”
When our friends asked “do you want children?”
I said “(barf)” and made disgusted faces

When you started crying
At the end of that random show
I was stained glass
Shattered by shadow

You said “we don’t have a future”
I said “if that’s true then we can’t get back here”
You said “why are you always joking”
I said “maybe somebody slipped something in my beer
Come here
I want to kiss you”
But you turned your cheek away
And then I heard you say
“Sometimes I make me feel disgusted
I didn’t know I didn’t want what I wanted

Little jokes
Don’t make me smile
Stop acting like a child
People change after a while”

“Not me” I said

Little jokes
Still make me smile
They flow through my head
Like the river Nile
You get used to it
After a while

Joe Dickinson Chicago, Illinois

Hi, I’m Joe Dickinson.

I'm a DIY singer/songwriter from Chicago, IL.

It's not easy, balancing the external demands of work/life with the internal demands of creativity, but I'm working toward a set of sustainable internal systems that will allow me to continue to write, record, and release songs. Hopefully for the rest of my life.

I appreciate you taking the time to listen. ... more
