why won’t you (be my baby)
why won’t you be my girl?
why. won’t you. (be my lady)
why won’t you be my girl?
listening to that Beatles record
And i’ve got a checklist of
everything i wanna do with you
if you’d be mine
but you’re sat there with quite a glare
like “what the hell am i doing here?”
you’ve got a boyfriend,
sadly, i want you badly
oo girl you got me going and i don’t know if
i can wipe your face out my mind
oo girl with a flick of the wrist and a little kiss
you could be mine
why won’t you (be my baby)
why won’t you be my girl?
why. won’t you. (be my lady)
why won’t you be my girl?
why don’t you just give me one chance
so we can go ahead
and get this tension out of the room?
and youuuuuu
complimented my sweater
and told me about “getting better all the time” (it’s getting better all the time)
oo girl you got me going and i don’t know if
i can wipe your face out my mind
oo girl with a flick of the wrist and a little kiss
you could be mine
why won’t you (be my baby)
why won’t you be my girl?
why. won’t you. (be my lady)
why won’t you be my girl?
W-H-Y, why won’t you be mine?
W-H-Y, why won’t you be mine?
W-H-Y, why won’t you be mine?
Why won’t you be my girl?
why won’t you (be my baby)
why won’t you be my girl?
why. won’t you. (be my lady)
why won’t you be my girl?
why won’t you (be my baby)
(W-H-Y, why won’t you be mine)
why won’t you be my girl?
(W-H-Y, why won’t you be mine)
why. won’t you. (be my lady)
(W-H-Y, why won’t you be mine)
why won’t you be my girl?

free?
no you can't buy my love
me?
no i'm not the only one
who knows the things you do
to get a head start
i’ve seen it all before
i know what you want
it’s my….heart
i'm 16. 17. i’m waiting to be 18.
i'm not what you want
i'm 16. 17. i'm feeling this way again
i'm right back at the start
i’m right back at the start
please
i don't wanna be another choice
don't you think i need you
like i need a paper asshole?
"cause a little aversion
couldn't hurt a person"
that's what you think
i've seen it all before
i know what you want
it’s my heart
i'm 16. 17. i’m waiting to be 18.
i'm not what you want
i'm 16. 17. i'm feeling this way again
i'm right back at the start
i’m right back at.the.start

and you said
"why'd you never ask me out"
here you are again
regretting my place in the friend zone
so i said
"why was i the afterthought?"
your repeated change in procedural
love was all i got
(ooo’s)
i said baby a word please
"your silence was all i heard, you see"
i’m sick of the “will we, won’t we?”
we’re still saying “if only”
*swing*
why'd you never call me back? (call me back)
we're swinging back and forth
always on this pendulum
*swing*
why'd you never call me back? (call me back)
we're swinging back and forth
get me off this pendulum
it always happens when the midnight day ends
you text me once for a conversation like
“hey, miss you, you wanna talk about my issues?”
“I wasn't put in an easy situation because I was your friend and always saw your relationships end
i saw how you hated your exes,
and all the people you texted" (THIS STUFF IS ALL CLAIRE)
ohhhh baby a word please
"your silence was all i heard, you see"
i’m sick of wasting time
thinking of how you could’ve been mine
*swing*
why'd you never call me back? (call me back)
we're swinging back and forth
always on this pendulum
*swing*
why'd you never call me back? (call me back)
we're swinging back and forth
get me off this pendulum

if I'm ever gonna be with someone
I guess it's true! I've been through the hurt of three at once
I've got a box of pizza, a movie,
and four bowls of weed
do you think your name could be “someone?”
and in all the time that I've been looking around
I've never seen a face quite like yours anywhere in town
but of all the pretty fishes in this pink dye sea
you're the one that's supposed to be with me
if I ended up dating someone
I'd only be a prop waiting (waiting now)
nothing quite like knowing what you want
I guess I'm done guessing
but you're still stressing
I wish you’d quit messing around
consistent for persistence' sake
I'm no mister I have to wait have to wait
but I'm sure when it's through
I'll get a text from you
to say
"i want you,
I've been thinking about you and me"
and if your boyfriend thinks he'll stay
then "yippee yoo hoo!!!!"
I guess you'll spend all day!!!
looking your through your heart to find
and realize what's gone
so quit holding on
it's stupid to wait around
when we could be
consistent for persistence' sake
I'm no mister I have to wait have to wait
but I'm sure when it's through
I'll get a text from you
to say
"i want you,
I've been thinking about you and me"
you're the one that's supposed to be with
the one you're supposed to be with
and the one you're supposed to be with
is the idiot writes these songs
so baby come on
and quit holding on
and we could be
consistent for persistence' sake
I'm no mister I have to wait have to wait
but I'm sure when it's through
I'll get a text from you
to say
"i want you,
I've been thinking about you and me"
but of all the pretty fishes in this pink dye sea
you're the one that's supposed to be with me

Identifying Trees

i close my eyes and gently drift to sleep
i dream of ways to keep you here with me
and give you everything you need
even subconsciously i'm inspired
by you, you set my heart aflame
you're laying right there right beside me
carefully identifying trees
covered in leaves
so who's to thank for all these moments
that we get to spend alone for free
it may be contrived a notion
to say you were the one that's chosen for me
no, it is not rocket science to say you were supposed to find me
i guess we'll wait and see
