over dub

you fell asleep on me

and i ponder on this

 

how lovely

how comfortable

how natural

how trusting

how beautiful

 

something so simple

cuddled up

 

you fell asleep on me

and i ponder on this

 

how relaxed

how precious

how normal

how treasured

how noticed

 

i felt you slow to stop

your weight so perfect

 

you fell asleep on me

and i ponder this

 

and all the how's in the world

wont turn it into a now

but the how's are filling up liquid yellow vessels

and the narrator hasn't the heart to turn them into lurid tales

 

others don't

wont

understand

 

they read in me things that they project

and it makes me wince and want to protect

it would seem im so complex that they do not understand

that it is the simple pleasure of holding your hand

which makes my face rejoice so

laser beam smiles

sparkling eyes

and they see there own smut

and it isn't lost in me

i think "even i wouldn't get away with that,

what makes them think they have the right?"

 

then i understand

that maybe im not from this land

this earth

that maybe i am deeper

more sincere

more honest

just happy for the simple gifts of normalcy

 

and i think of you falling asleep on me

and me desperate for a pee

and i smile

at how silly i am

and how i like being silly

when oh so safe with you

and i ponder

 

and the flash backs ive had most my life

each time with you i rerecord

ease the old a wipe

and over lay

over dub

simple beauty

 

and i think of laying with you sleeping

and im so happy

you may say it makes me sound sappy

and i don't mind

as i know your kind

and you will laugh at my kind heart

that has never been shown like this

and i just wont

don't mind

because you kind

 

i will be your pillow

and your bed of roses

petals inches deep

and enchant you

if i can

into a still and peaceful sleep
