{I'll be that girl} Who will never say {I told you so} For I think That {never is enough} {Am I the only one} Who will never {Break your heart}? I'll {never do anything} To try and hurt you But if all else fails {Blame it on me} I'll take it {When you dream} It's the {same thing} "Just {pinch me So I can {go home}" {Wrap your arms around me} So I know That I'm not {just a toy} You {light up my room} So please don't {leave} Me in the dark Look out my window With a "{hello city}" We'll stay up all night {{Who needs sleep?} Listen to the {helicopters} Fly past my window And suddenly {Everything old is new again} It's {stomach vs. heart} And you don't see {The humor of the situation} {It's all been done} {One week} after another And everything I do Is {too little too late} I know what I did {I live with it every day} The {same thing} Repeats in my mind But maybe one day {You'll be waiting} for me But not now That's {life, in a nutshell} {Tonights the night I fell asleep at the wheel} Crashed and died, I did All my life I've been the {new kid} The {alternative girlfriend} I'm sick of it But you aren't like that So if you call me {Call me calmly} And you'll be {Off the hook} And {in the car} We'll listen to My {box set} {Some fantastic} things Will be said We'll reminince About {grade 9} And we'll go back To {the old apartment} We'll visit {Straw Hat and Old Dirty Hank}, Our old neighbors And they'll say "{What a good boy}, Take {these apples} But you always were A {great provider} At least you get An "{A}" for effort But don't forget I'll {call and answer} Your calls {Intermittently}, I think I should just raise {The flag} Surrenduring But just like {Brian Wilson} {I know} I'll survive Maybe {This is where It ends} But somehow I don't think so For when I see you I feel like I'm {Falling for the 1st time} When the {Conventioneers} Start to {Sell sell sell} Thats {when I fall} {If I had $1000000} Could I prove That {the wrong man Was convicted}? Maybe I'm {crazy} Maybe it's the {alcohol} But I think That {I love you} Written April 2nd, 2002 © on Apr 02 2002 12:04 PM PST, Shayla Carter   18 • 0 • 10
