Crayons To Perfume

Chorus:

-------

But how do you thank someone/

Who has taken you from crayons to perfume?

My little brown-eyed girl/

Living in my own world/

I wanna take some time to let you know/

That I find it incredible that you were there for me/

When nobody was/

And still nobody does/

But it doesn't matter, because we've always had us/

Looking in your eyes, I can trust/

I never wanted it to be this way/

You gotta understand/

That it's hard growing and becoming a man/

We used to hold hands/

Since the days of school/

Always tell my man's it wasn't that way with you/

Smiling at the little things you'd do/

But I was more like the big brother type/

Had to act responsible/

And I begin to get the picture/

Becoming best friends with my best friend's little sister/

I miss her, when I think about the time we shared/

But now we're both growing up, and yo, we're almost there/

I used to run with the girl next door/

Summer nights, looking at starlight through black doors/

I used to wonder what this all was for.

(Chorus)

Another decade/

Another life lesson/

Mind of innocence in a body of transgression/

Today I'm consumed in thought/

Walking under overcast skies, feeling like I forgot/

The sentiments we shared/

Dared to go where we had not before/

But now we live in this cold war/

That's the price that you pay/

When you play with the emotions of other human beings/

I'm sorry/

If I composed a poem for every girl I've wronged/

I'd be contemplating forever, pen a thousand songs/

Take flight at midnight if I could erase harm/

And turn back the pages of time, to re-write my wrongs/

But/

It isn't easy as it seems/

To unbreak the heart that was broken believe me/

If I could take what was taken/

Undo your heart breaking/

I'd still be your little brown-eyed man in the making.

(Chorus)
