i thought about how i might owe you,   and now i might ask of you   and who couldnt possibly refuse   a marriage proposal as such   is it in his kiss?   no, thats not the way,   and you're not listening,   to a word i say      i've been on an neutral kick,   i've been nice and over it   then i realize,   its dead and over   get out of it   if you dont soon enough,    then i realized   i haven't seen anyone.      hiding out is what we're doing   pleaseantly bored   simmer away   and i apologize   remember the laughter,   and the innocence?   as will i, of course   stalling   its better in the long run   perhaps      well i've decided   that anyone   who would ever even   consider asking me that   be able to scoop me up   in his fingertips   and cut me in two   or maybe three   four, to be safe      and i will run to ohio   and i will become texas if i must   and i will paint you blue, to mark the sky   to simmer away...
