lying on my back in the woods
leaves lie in patterns brilliant green
flung up to canopy the sky
i am singing to myself i am humming this song

don't you follow me
you know i won't be long
it'll take my life
get me moving on
to hold me down you must first learn to crawl
you know i talk to myself 
when i am walking alone
shout out to the seagulls
running arms flapping down the road

you know i love to watch you 
the way you move
while i am just a quiet spot of sun
in the corner of your crowded room
all the times i want to touch you 
i can't always bring myself to
its less fear of rejection 
than what would happen if i reached out my hands
would they just go through you

smoothly flowing lips into kiss
under satin green shade
red bark peeling bright
she is dancing into me
idon't think you are waiting for him
i whisper to her
perched high in her bones

scabbed and silent i sit
your eyes pass over me 
you are rocking back and forth
you are singing this song to me

don't you follow me
you know i won't be long
it'll take my life
get me moving on
to mend it up
to hold me down
don't you hold me down
