Right by You

Two days in
Already starting to die
Tried every window
Filling partial sunlight
Tried to read the leaves
Are you a cactus or a tree?
Do you need a little desert
Would you rather it be raining?

I just wanna do right by you
Show me how to
Tell me what you need
You're a mystery, I am, too
I just wanna do right by you

For three bucks at the bargain store I found you
There's no hiding tailored lines
At that moment I knew
Little frayed around the sleeves
Didn't get your stitch in time
The tag said dry-clean only
But you're holding up just fine

I just wanna do right by you
Show me how to
Tell me what you need
You're a mystery, I am, too
I just wanna do right by you

Box said "fragile, assembly required"
On the back
And all the parts arrive
In tiny plastic bags
Read it all a thousand times
Figured out what they were for
Just a couple screws left over on the living room floor

I just wanna do right by you
Show me how to
Tell me what you need
You're a mystery, and I am, too
I just wanna do right by you
