"Waxing Or Waning?" as written by and Kevin Griffin....
You in your coat
Writing a note,
"dear sal, i hope you'll agree..."
Then catching a bus,
Just after dusk,
A one way trip to the city.
A cold water flat.
A hot plate,
A hat.
The want ads are strewn on the floor.
And you get so mad, when your ma and dad
Reflect when you look in the mirror.
But i see you there
Nude at the top of the stairs
(but so far away)
And i recall all
Your dreams and your schemes
Moving me.
The plans that we made,
A street serenade
You can't be like your brother and mike,
Content just to live and get by.
I hope that your fine,
At 13th and 9.
Waxing or waning?
Your call.
But i see you there
Alight at the top of the stairs
But so far away
And i recall all your
Hands and your plans moving me
The sense that it made
A street serenade.

That's what I get from the song.. and right now I sort of feel the same way.. my girlfriend is a grade ahead of me, she just graduated a few days ago and at the end of the summer she's going to the University of Vermont, while I'm stuck here for my senior year of high school in Pennsylvania.. I don't want this to end, so it's up to her, is our relationship waxing (beginning) or waning (ending)? It's really a beautiful song, I think.
