Staring up into the solar system,
|
All the stars are fixed up in the sky.
|
I just want to sparkle for a moment
|
Before I just fizzle out and die.
|
|
I'm happy because I'm stupid.
|
Scared of spiders, scared of flying.
|
If I wasn't so happy,
|
I wouldn't be so scared of dying.
|
|
So just be gentle with me
|
(I'm not as young as I was)
|
And I'll be gentle with you
|
I'm not as brave as I thought
|
'Cause my heart gets broken so easily.
|
So just be gentle, be gentle with me.
|
|
Wide awake, waiting like a target
|
Listening for things I cannot see.
|
Insects flutter up against my window.
|
I don't like the way they look at me
|
|
i guess I've always needed
|
To be needed by someone.
|
It's a comforting feeling
|
Being under someone's thumb.
|
|
So just be gentle with me
|
(And if I am ever mean)
|
And I'll be gentle with you
|
I never mean to be mean
|
'Cause I want to pick peaches off of a cherry tree.
|
Just be gentle, be gentle, be gentle,
|
Be gentle with me.
|
|
So just be gentle with me
|
Trouble is sometimes
|
And I'll be gentle with you
|
I just can't switch myself off
|
When I want to so I never do
|
Because I'm mental, be gentle, be gentle,
|
Just be gentle, be gentle, be gentle
|
And I'll be gentle, be gentle, be gentle,be gentle with you.
