Tree

You're the most beautiful thing that I knew
I never noticed, but it's always true
When I am near you I feel like a kid again
I don't wanna change, I wanna be brand new

So when you left I grabbed a soda from the local store
And I parted with a dollar bill
Told the man behind the counter have a wonderful day
But I think it meant that I love you
And I do
And I do
And I do
And I do

If only I could fix my mistakes with the perfection of shame
And if I could cleanse the weight of the things inside me that have a name
I would love you so completely I'd never say I need you to stay
I would make something so pretty I'd cry and then I'd kiss it away

You are away and you are my friend
You made me better than I could stand
I learned in grade school how to explain myself
How I'm not a boy and not in demand

So I sent my empty body to the federal girl
'Cause she promised I'd get some kind of clue
And I dreamed that you were smiling at the edge of the world
When she asked if I had something to lose
And I do
And I do
And I do
And I do

If only I could fix my mistakes with the perfection of shame
And if I could cleanse the weight of the things inside me that have a name
I would love you so completely I'd never say I need you to stay
I would make something so pretty I'd cry and then I'd kiss it away
