Lyrics

Steven I love you
I can't grow past you
I'm homesick in spite of the place
That I've fostered and styled to raise this child
Who keeps me in pitch and in pace
But I’m just reaching for the lasers
The sound of the beat as it clicks away
Classless, cool behavior
Sweating the night out of the sky
Learning to laugh and not ask why
Steven, I missed you
The whole world kissed you
You shot up in bloom like a fern
That was spotted and black
With the leaves rolled back
Is that same trick too easy to turn
Should I change my name and move to the country?
A life full of children and animals
White fences, landed gentry
Maybe I want to be myself
But I am somebody else
Nine months later I'm the lonely one
With all the fruit of labor
And half of the fun
Chris & Cosey in the rising sun
He's got a heart of gold
Man, it beats like a drum
And it shakes, the pebbles that crack in the brain, the kid logic
Dissolves and it all starts to give away
That nothing is ever the same
I can't stand it, I want to be myself
But I am somebody else
Steven, I'm watching the world get boring
There's too much restraint in the mix
I'd be overly flattered to feel so shattered
To have something broken to fix
But I know
The world outside is knocking
The dream and the drive with the pedigree
The forces interlocking
Well maybe I want to be myself
But I am somebody else
Nine months later I'm the lonely one
With all the fruit of labor
And half of the fun
Chris & Cosey in the rising sun
He's got a heart of gold
Man, it beats like a drum
And it shakes, the pebbles that crack in the brain, the kid logic
Dissolves and it all starts to give away
That nothing is ever the same
I can't stand it, I want to be myself
But I am somebody else
And you'll never harbor someone like me
If you never leave then you'll never see
I swear that I will pull you from the wreckage
Of this Sunday-Monday routine
I will pull you from the wreckage
Oh, don't you leave me on my own
Cause you and me
We're two of a kind
We're two of a kind
Steven, I love you
I can't grow past you
I have nothing left to give to you
