Steven

Steven I love you I can't grow past you I'm homesick in spite of the place That I fostered and styled and raised this child Who keeps me in pitch and in pace But I miss, reaching for the lasers The sound of the beat is eight clicks away Classes, school behavior Sweating the night out of the sky Learning to laugh and not ask why Steven, I miss you The whole world kissed you You shot up in bloom like a fern That was spotted and black With the leaves swirled back As 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 Just like, crisp and cozy in the rising sun He's got a heart of gold, man It beats like a drum And it shakes, the pebbles are cracking and break The kid logic Dissolves and it all starts to give away Then 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 and feel so shattered To have something broken be fixed But I know The world outside is knocking The dream or the drive or 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 Just like, crisp and cozy in the rising sun He's got a heart of gold, man It beats like a drum And it shakes, the pebbles are cracking and break The kid logic Dissolves and it all starts to give away Then nothing is ever the same I can't stand it, I want to be myself But I am somebody else And you'll never have 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
