Tony The Tiger
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I was alone
So I set a fire and I wasted it all on you
You were a seed I can hardly remember
And I knew it would be over soon
If I was a tree I know you couldn't take it
On a Sunday afternoon
And we were a bridge on top of gaudy water
With something left inside you
What is the price to be a bargain beggar
So lonely but always free
What did you mean when you said it's destructive
And you sank your self right into me
I know you think you know
But you probably don't
I know you think you know
But you probably don't know
Didn't think that you would actually do it
Didn't think that you would actually do it
And you slept the entire drive home
It was you my sister and I
And you slept the entire drive home
It was you my sister and I
Didn't think that you would actually do it
Didn't think that you would actually do it
Didn't think that you would actually do it
Didn't think that you would actually do it
