Album: Elephant |
|
I want to be the boy that warms your mother's heart |
|
I'm so scared to take you away |
|
I tried to win her over right from the start |
|
But something always got in the way |
|
We've been sitting in your backyard for hours |
|
While my mother baked a little cake for you |
|
But she won't even come out and say hi |
|
And even dreaded when you said goodbye |
|
What kind of joke should |
|
I lay on her now? |
|
What kind of cartwheels do |
|
I have to pull? |
|
Just to make her notice that |
|
I'm around |
|
I'm inclined to go finish high school |
|
Well nothing |
|
I come up with seems to work |
|
It feels like everything |
|
I say is a lie |
|
I'm afraid to even open my eyes |
|
And never have a felt like such a jerk |
|
Because I really don't want her to judge me |
|
And then, and only then she will love me |
|
I want to her really know who |
|
I am Well at least that was the plan |
|
If ever a boy needed a holiday |
|
If ever a girl needed someone to hold |
|
I just hope |
|
I don't act the same way |
|
By the time that |
|
I get old |
|
I never said |
|
I was the heir to a fortune |
|
I never claimed to have any looks |
|
But these kind of things must be important |
|
Because somebody ripped out my page |
|
In your telephone book |
|
I want to warm her heart |
