Shameplant

Well, I love you
With every part of me
Save for the part of me
That does not
It's the part of me
That's always wondering
What else I could get
For what I've got

When the one I have
Is in front of me
And she's wondering
Where I've gone
'Cos she can always tell
When I meet her eyes
And when I'm looking
Just beyond

I could love you
With every part of me
But there's a part of me
That's been taught
That there's no consequence
When I'm not all in
Someone else is gonna pay
Pay that cost

Every chorus of my youth
Was a plea for surgery
A cry for gods to come cut out
What could be got by only me
But I can't age right into goodness
Can't stumble into change
Can't expect to grow a garden
And depend on only rain

I have to get down in the earth of it
In an embarrassment of weeds
Have to be in touching distance
Where the shameplant
The shameplant folds its leaves

But it's one thing
To act on
And another to just believe
