all i ever wanted to be was a woolly muffler on your naked neck
|
double-wrap me when it's cold
|
but you pulled a little tight just now
|
and i'm afraid i feel a choke hold coming on
|
|
all i ever thought we might come to was second dates
|
and flirting eyebrows
|
or maybe even psychic friends
|
and we could share a secret language
|
and almost definitely make more of it
|
than it was
|
but everyone around us would know
|
everyone watching would know
|
|
this is not a walk with walking wounded
|
here's the ball, here's the pole, now where's the tether
|
where's the tether?
|
hands can grow together
|
if you're not careful or grateful or whatever
|
and i never much cared much too much to begin with
|
|
i will not take your possibilities under my care
|
i will not see you on the bus
|
you want me to hold your hand
|
it's a courtship i can't stand
|
and here i thought you were crying because you were happy
|
but no no no
|
|
friends will turn against you
|
people disappoint you every time
|
so if you've got greatness in you would you do us all a favor
|
and keep it to yourself?
|
keep it
|
keep it to yourself
|
|
a labored expat fantasy:
|
quit your job and move away with me
|
oh what bliss it would be
|
to pretend we never met
|
|
i'm elated now
|
i'm elated now
|
i'm elated now
|
i'm elated now
|
