Freckles

I was on the way back
Running from a ghost that haunts me in my head
You can always tell when I get that look in my eyes
We're sitting in the park on a rock
Watching two dogs fight it out over nothing
We didn't have anything to say, but I didn't really mind
Summer's on its way in
Talking in an accent just to make you laugh
Freckles coming out, and you're drawing on them, making a map
We're sitting on your bed, talking about your favorite book
Trying to see if you really know Italian
You called me by your name, but all it did was make me laugh
So tell me something
'Cause you're becoming the only one I want to see
I don't want to force it out or put pressure down
About what you really want from me
Never given it much thought
But now I can't help thinking 'bout the fact that I just wanna be
The only one who touches you at night
And if you cannot give me that, then baby, give me nothing
Give me nothing, give me nothing, babe
Never felt so open listening to Joni Mitchell in the evening
You had never heard of her, which made you feel insecure for no reason
And I would never say it out loud, but I've rarely felt important till now
I'm used to boys taking me for granted
So tell me something
'Cause you're becoming the only one I want to see
I don't want to force it out or put pressure down
About what you really want from me
Never given it much thought
But now I can't help thinking 'bout the fact that I just wanna be
The only one who shows you good music
And if you cannot give me that, then baby, give me nothing
Give me nothing, give me nothing, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
So tell me something
'Cause you're becoming the only one I want to see
I don't want to force it out or put pressure down
About what you really want from me
I've never given it much thought
But now I can't help thinking 'bout the fact that I just wanna be
The only one who kisses you goodnight
And wakes up in the morning by your side
Shows you all the songs he wrote about you
And if you cannot give me that, then baby, give me nothing
Give me nothing, give me nothing, baby
