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
