Oh Marina by The Society Pages Lyrics

As I poke at the remains of my room service tray
With your book on the bed next to me
In a hotel in the last standing Soviet state
I’m wondering how to say eloquently
Oh Marina, I totally dig the things you had to say
‘Cause if you were still here, then we would still both be the same age
Guess for all of my life I’ve been wasting my time trying to sound like I’m at least thirty five
Hell, I could’ve used a great writer like you
Who doesn’t mind just being twenty two
Oh Marina, I totally dig the things you had to say
‘Cause if you were still here, then we would still both be the same age
It’s kinda weird that it’s while I’m here that I should read
The one you wrote about that Russian submarine
Oh, everybody sings about loneliness
But I keep such great company
Fuck I wish I had your articulateness
In my dumb-fuck early twenties
Oh Marina, I totally dig the things you had to say
‘Cause if you were still here, then we would still both be the same age
Oh Marina, there’s such a tragedy to your fame
That if you were still here, I’d probably never have learned your name
