2002-01-09 | "PIZZA DELIVERY FOR 'SMOKEY McPOTT'"

build us that treehouse

prove me wrong

so we can start our own make-out club

and write some new songs

light some candles

and take my hand

i'll love watching you climb that ladder

and i'll remember your "silly" plan

you can laugh at me then

and say you told me so

just don't say when

and don't tell me when you have to go

we'll call in sick

or we won't call at all

we'll hide out in there

'til all the leaves fall

we'll bring some blankets for when it gets cold

and a taste of our early days, for when we get old

i'll try not to get bitter when the darkness gets near

you'll be there to help make the unknown stuff clear

i'm afraid to die sometimes

i just don't want to leave you alone

and i don't want you to go on with your life like that

but i'll go along with it, if it means you'll be happy

just make sure you say goodnight to me even when i'm not there

shed a tear on the pillow, and blow a kiss in the air

tell your new husband that he'll never compare

and every once in a while just stop and stare-

-into space i go, and i take your heart with me

just enough to log all the info into my memory

you can have it back when i die

it's okay if you want to cry

you know i will

i was built to spill

you make me so happy

everyone knows that's true

if they don't want to believe that, what can I do?

i don't need those people anyway

you're still the sweetest girl ever, even on your most bitter-sweet day

so i'll worry about the future later

you'll probably make me forget all the bad stuff, anyway

i don't know why i even pay attention to it

it's nothing i can control

i just want you there with me

whatever happens

and knowing that you'll never forget me is as valuable a gift as i could ever receive

so believe me when i say

i've never been happier then i am this day

sure, i had a bad day at work

and all the people i work with are insufferable jerks

i wake up everyday with the most invaluable perks

sometimes i'm so amazed, i can't help but smirk

i look at my former self, and wonder how i went without all this

i can't believe i ever survived a day without at least one kiss

i guess i had an active imagination

i knew one day i'd be on a permanent vacation

i guess pushing your way through hard times really pays off

that was nice of you to meet me at the finish, and dry me off

i thought life was hard, but I found you so soft

i felt a little pain everytime you would cough

i'd be sick once a month if it meant you'd never be

i'd die for you, but then it would suck again to be me

i'd have to be alone again, with nothing but your memory

but that would still be a pretty peaceful way to live

i keep thinking of a way to make my hands stop

maybe i'd be more at ease, if my fear started to drop

i don't want to be ignorant just for the sake of bliss

i wouldn't be that interesting without any days being pissed

all my writings would be sappy like this

it doesn't really matter, just pay me my daily kiss

my allowance is up to 44

i'm getting too greedy, i asked for forty more

she said it's okay, just as long as i kiss back

i'd never give up anything to get one wish back

all the fucked up days, and confusion

all seem now like an optical illusion

i could always see through all the bullshit

i guess that was you with the flashlight over there

all the obstacles were crushed and used to pave the way

all the lies used as arrows to point towards you

even though i didn't know who you were

it really wasn't all that much of a blur

i swear i must've dreamt about you before we met

how else would you explain that connection?

it wasn't just coincidence that we liked each other

this thing really had to work

it's pretty fucking amazing

it's so hard to believe

i don't have to fight to get good things anymore

it seems so easy now

now i only have to fight FOR the things that i already have and love

but i probably won't have to

i already have it all

what would fighting solve?

if i was that smart, i'd find out what really makes the world revolve

i don't listen to all those scientific terms

and i never gave much thought to all those germs

if the early bird really gets the worm

then why do they sit there and squirm?

all things aren't what they're supposed to be

i guess an exception would be you and me
