• You've been there forever -- ever since I could remember,

    Placed in the cabinet, playing songs after songs,

    I've listened to you so many times I know every line of "September",

    So if I could, I'd do anything to figure out what's wrong,

    You've made CDs skip more times than girls did to my heart,

    But thats what i loved about you -- the fact that you weren't perfect,

    Like Diddy I'll press play but now you won't start,

    Why have you stopped? I don't understand you like a person with a dialect,

    I'm telling myself you're having a bad day and that you don't feel like working,

    Yet in the back of my head I know you're on the edge of your limit,

    I'll try one more time to turn you on -- hoping you will this time,

    With a sense of premonition hanging over me,

    I reach over and press the power button, nervous as if committing a crime,

    But you lie there motionless -- still as a log of a dead tree,
