Stray Italian Greyhound

Oh, no, not now

Please, not now

I just settled into the glass half empty

Made myself at home

And so why now

Please not now

I just stopped believing in happy endings

Harbors of my own

But you had to come along didn't you

Break down the doors, throw open windows

Oh, if you knew just what a fool you have made me

So what do I do with this?

This stray Italian greyhound

These inconvenient fireworks

This ice-cream-covered screaming hyperactive thought

God, I just want to lay down

These colors make my eyes hurt

This feeling calls for everything that I am

Not

I'm not that kind

I'm so good at shooting down any notion

This tired world could change

It's all been bought

Or at least that was my line

No use in spending all that emotion

When there's someone else to blame

But you had to come along didn't you

Rev up the crowd, rewrite the rule book

Where do I go when every 'n' turns into 'maybe'

So what do I do with this?

This sudden burst of sunlight

And me with my umbrella

Cross-indexing every weatherman's report

I was ready for the downslide

But not for spring to well up

This feeling calls for everything I can't afford

To know

Is possible now

What do I do

With a love that won;t sit still

Won't do what it's told

What do I do

With a love that won't sit still
