What if I gave you the moon?
What if I stole you a star?
What if I told you how lovely you are?
Then would you let me finish a senten--
What?
What if I cut out my heart
Using a grapefruit spoon
What if I wrote you this beautiful tune in my blood
Then would you let me finish a senten--
What?
What if I wired your jaw?
Then could I finish a sen--
No, I guess not
La la la la la la la
Sometimes I think you’re pissed for no good reason
La la la la la la la
And if you’d only hear me out
La la la la la la la la la la
You’d still be pissed
La la la la
But at least you’d have a reason
I know -- listen -- no, I’m not -- you’re a--
Can’t we -- no, I’m not -- listen -- what about you?
I’m sure -- wait -- but, that was -- why? -- don’t be--
Years ago -- you always -- well, that may be true
Maybe I do … that
What if I said it’s my fault?
Cop to the whole damn thing
What if I even said I’d go in for counseling
Then
Would you let me
Finish
A senten … ce
Thanks
