The moment I saw you I had to bring you home
No one else could adore you for beauty alone
You're too good for them, perhaps too good for me
Still I dream of the things we'll make together
You bought us to knit up an armor for your heart
Saw coils of potential in bright coloured parts
You'll always be two steps away from what you want
If you look to us to fill the hole that's showing
I can't bear to see you just sitting on the shelf
Reminder of failures I keep for myself
I'll neither use you nor give you away
I still dream of the things we'll make together
You're wasting your time and you're squandering your care
Don't matter to us if you hoard or you share
We'll either live here or we'll live somewhere else
Maybe you should think instead of where you're going
