Ladybird

Am I a burden baby Bite the burn on my lips When you're sick of my skin Slowly sinking in I am the 'bird' in ladybird Though I feel like a bug When I cry and I tug On your sleeve But you don't want to leave We don't know the people And we don't know the sequel And how this ends It's a tug that you shrug so I sank and I shrunk Til I'm mute and confused Oh so small when I'm next to you (Oh so small, oh so small, oh so small, oh so small when I'm next to you) (Oh so small, oh so small, oh so small, oh so small when I'm next to you) My arms are warm and torn In this space I call an 'embrace' (I know, I know) Do you call it a hug for short? I am tired of living so simple in taste But now we are leaving and you want to drive me home You told me I was only yours then two birds one stone Your sleeve was slinging down, the urge to hold it but you'd press the break We'd all be at a bigger stake of death Just a tug will do Just a tug will do (Oh so small, oh so small, oh so small, oh so small when I'm next to you) Mid-December I fantasise Of the time I didn't long for you Yet it didn't make me cry I just sighed and cut my fingers too From a song that I wrote back home In my dress you caressed Was I a mess? My size was a letter written in your car Oh I felt so tall I felt so small (Oh so small, oh so small, oh so small, oh so small when I'm next to you) (Oh so small, oh so small, oh so small, oh so small when I'm next to you) Feeling so big when I drive my own car Loving you still when you open your arms If I'm a bug I'm still craving a tug Maybe this ladybird just wants to be loved Feeling so big when I drive my own car Loving you still when you open your arms If I'm a bug I'm still craving a tug Maybe this ladybird just wants to be loved (to be next to you)
