lyrics

Lover, I wish you were still a child
And I was your cheap plastic toy
Leave me in the yard, forget me in a cupboard
I would never have to forgive you

I could be the water you drink from the hose
The parts of me you waste would soak into your clothes
Keep you cool in the August sun
Everything I'm good for would make you happy

Lover, I wish you were still a child
And I was a bird you imagined to be your friend
Sit on your porch, and I'd eat seeds from your hands
Wouldn't break my tiny heart to see you cry when I fly away
