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
