Meow

The squirrels were racing through the trees The birds were singing harmonies So sweet Cleaner than the morning dew Fell on my window pane A quiet rain Every drop sky blue I saw this all come true As I was thinking of you As I was thinking of you I took a drop around the block I had my Walkman on As I passed by the duck pond As I was thinking of you I heard a song I hadn't heard in many years It fell new upon my ears And for the first time its meaning was clear I called you for a date When we were young and too afraid to Say what we yearned to say I blame myself because I failed to Stop time I don't wanna go to work yet Stop time I don't wanna go to work yet Stop time I don't wanna go to work yet Stop time I'm sleeping in my bed tonight I haven't been for seven days Left my toothbrush at your place If I get cavities I'm blaming all those squirrels in the trees And butterflies on the breeze And my newfound taste for cheesy clichés And bonehead stupid wordplay These things I never say To anybody but you Bring out the parts of me that I hide You've seen who I really am inside I think I'm in way over my head Stop time I don't wanna to go to work yet I hope you remember how beautiful you are Your body and your spirit and your mind I hope you understand how deep I fell for you How hard a person like you is to find You should never hide your scars You've got nothing to be ashamed of I will treasure those parts of you And the slow way they became love Stop time I don't wanna go to work yet Stop time I don't wanna go to work yet Stop time I don't wanna go to work yet Stop time I'm not ready to go to work yet Stop life I don't wanna go to work yet Stop life I don't wanna go to work yet Stop life I'm not ready to shed this skin yet Stop life I don't want to close these eyes
