Streetlight - Melissa Ferrick

What did you say?

What ever I want

This is so easy

This love in my life

But this isn’t real

We’re just making it up

Over and over guilty

Is what I hear in my head

You are in fear

And I’m in a bubble

We stay together

Cause we’re always apart

But I’m getting good

At balancing trouble

And you’re getting good

At looking like

You want to take me back

So dress me up

Take me out to dinner

And I will stare at my plate all night

Lay me down

Tie me to your bedpost

And I will pretend

This is what I like

But don’t you dare

Start seeing someone else

Or I will come

Stand outside your house

See me there

I’m underneath the streetlight

Satisfied no

With love when I’m in it

The smaller the hill

The more I want to push it

The closer to the truth you get

The more I want to disprove you

So dress me up

And take me out to dinner

And I will stare at my plate all night

Lay me down

Tie me to your bedpost

And I will pretend

This is what I like

But don’t you dare

Start seeing someone else

Or I will come

Stand outside your house

See me there

I’m underneath the streetlight

So what did you say

Whatever I want

Maybe that’s the problem
