If You Were a Worm (Bonus Track)

If you were a worm
I'd buy a potted plant for you
You could do whatever things worms like to do
I'd scoop you off the sidewalk when the rain begins to fall
And if I needed tunnels, you would be the one I'd call
If you were a worm
I'd put you on my fishing hook
But just to dangle you over the water so you could take a better look
I'd feed you scraps and peels for all your tasty wormy meals
And hold you in my hands no matter how tingly it feels
If you were a worm
Then I'd be a worm
We'd squiggle and squirm
If you were a worm

And if two worms we both became
I think, inside, we'd stay the same
Regardless of how many tails we grew
I know it's true that love is blind
Cause if we both were worms, you'd find
That I'd give each of my five hearts to you

If we were both worms
We'd go on picnics every day
Dodging fish, birds and raccoons along the way
We'd ward off certain danger by hiding in the ground
And when the coast was clear, we'd each show off the dirt we found
If you were a worm
Then I'd be a worm
We'd squiggle and squirm
If you were a worm

And if two worms we both became
I think, somehow, we'd stay the same
Regardless of how many tails we grew
I know it's true that love is blind
Cause if we both were worms, you'd find
That I'd give each of my five hearts to you

If we were both worms
I wouldn't judge you for your slime
And we'd make each other giggle all the time
We'd have slow days together, the kind you don't forget
And, sure, sometimes we'd find we miss the lives we left behind
And yet
If you were a worm
Then I'd be a worm
We'd squiggle and squirm
If you were a worm
