You're more than they take you for, you're more than just skin and bones. You're muscles and tendons and ligaments, you're nuclei and fasciculus. You travel in bundles and transmit. Terminate in an axon well you could terminate in me. And I find myself in the wrong place at the wrong time When a train speeds past I'm forward of the yellow lines In the middle of the road before the green man shows You're more than I take you for, you're more than just skin and bones I know your anatomy, the constellations, I map the stars on your shoulders You travel for lightyears and transmit Comets terminate in the atmosphere you could terminate in me And I find myself in the wrong place at the wrong time When a train speeds past I'm forward of the yellow lines In the middle of the road before the green man shows You know the same sweat that navigates your brow once ran down the face of Alexander the Great And he said "Jessie you turn me into a joke and you ain't gonna like the fucking punchline girl" And I said "It's hard to play hard to get when you're so fucking hard to want, my boy" You know the same sweat that navigates your brow once ran down the face of Alexander the Great.

I wanna feel you exhale my name into the back of my neck And I wanna hear you breathe into my hair I'm a little bird, you're big red You're a fox, I am little robin redbreast Let's hunt for worms, let's make a nest at the bottom on the garden Do you know that flies only mate once in their lives I am sorry but I cannot love you like they do And I wanna feel your arms wrapped around me from behind And I wanna go to sleep with your hands holding mine I'm a little bird, you're a fox Big red and all the girls run amok Let's dig a hole, under the fence at the bottom of the garden Do you know that flies only mate once in their lives I am sorry but I cannot love you like they do Baby can't you see It's not me and it sure as hell ain't you Baby can't you see, We cannot love like insects do So I'll commit petty crimes Every day and every night I'll litter so I can come back as a fly And love you like they do Like the insects do.

I see symmetry in your face I see parallels and I see shapes I see symmetry in your face My favourite cliche I see sadness on your face I’ll take it in and I will replace All the trouble on your brain My favourite cliche My favourite cliche I’ll fuck around and I’ll hurt myself but you’re always there, damning me to hell I see you wearing your heart on your sleeve And, I won’t touch it I’ll stay right away I see you wearing your heart on your sleeve My favourite cliche I see you looking at diamond rings but you’re not into jewellery or fancy things I see you buying a diamond ring you’re still my favourite cliche My favourite cliche I’ll fuck around and I’ll hurt myself but you’re always there, damning me to hell I’ll fuck around and I’ll hurt myself but you’re always there, damning me to hell I’ll fuck around and I’ll hurt myself but you’re always there with better stories to tell And I’ll fuck around make a mess of things when you say you’d like me to wear your ring but that’s not my thing.

still smell you on my pillow case can you taste me on your lips your smile made flowers grow in the garden where weeds have been but please remember i’m a weed, yes i’m your daisy and I'm your daisy last night i dreamt about kissing you I wonder if you want to kiss me too your smile made flowers grow in the cracks of the pavement but please remember I’m a weed Yes, I’m your daisy And I'm your daisy text me say your sheets smell of my shampoo and sweat and sex text me say you want me in your bed but your head'll have to do so please remember I’m a weed yes i’m your daisy I'm your daisy and i'm nothing without context I'll wrap around you like a vine. so chain me and wear me round your neck
