little ditty 01:05
I like the clothes that you often wear the way you that cut your hair your eyes are lit every time you smile (even just a little bit) I like the cute way that you ramble the way you won't take your eggs scrambled that I don't have to say anything that you're still sleepy in the morning so I wrote you this little ditty kept the words a little silly in the hope it would seem as if I had written the whole thing casually
2.
I only ever stood up one girl that I can remember what would've been different if I hadn't that's something I like to wonder we would've been happy then I would've carved our names in a tree then she would've left without wanting to leave then I would've cried till I couldn't see then she would've written better songs about me Oh, Lo! I wanna be the centrepiece of your angriest paintings I wanna lie awake and breathe knowing that you're thinking the same thing
3.
I floated face down in your backyard pond hoping you'd find me sooner rather than not now I'm soaked through to the bone a waterlogged fondant a permanent fixture, your favourite haunt let me be a permanent/favourite just wanna comfort my dogs on the rainiest days close my eyes and sleep my troubles away
4.
two peters 01:58
there are two Peters who come swimming at the pool both of them are nice but you wouldn't call them cool the older Peter teaches at the college his white hair means you can trust his knowledge he always wants to know how I'm doing asks me "how's school been going?" I try to be honest but sometimes I'm not! it's not that I don't remember or that I forgot I try to be honest but sometimes I cannot there are two Peters underwater Peter does underwater backstroke I never get any of his bad jokes he's got nothing better to do than loiter at the pool and try to sell his barbecue I don't think he'll ever come swimming again the officers came and arrested him were we his only friends? I don't think he'll ever come swimming again
5.
I stopped the car so she could save an abandoned, lonely, piece of art it was a cheap watercolour print with two names written on the back of its beat up wooden frame and Isabel asked: who do you think they were? did they have a pair of kids did they kiss each other on the lips did they ever hold hands while they watered their favourite plants did they fight like mom and dad were they ever sad
6.
waffle iron 01:42
I'm out here in the country you're so far away from me there's only so many hours I can stare at trees I love all the wildlife but there's someplace I'd rather be tonight! how is it that you don't own a waffle iron??????? but don't worry baby, I got your back how can it be I spent the whole day sitting on a heating vent (I was thoroughly enjoying reading The Colossus till Jasper came and chewed it up. I really wish that he hadn't - I was only just getting to the good part.)
