Lyrics
How to make a Baby Elephant Float
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 like to hold hands when we walk
I'm not averse to pillow talk
But I prefer a private joke
The memory it evokes
Because it's our punch line
That film we saw from the front row
It means so much to us alone
I love the wrinkled brow
Of anyone else around
Because it's our punch line
And when we're out and you say
"It would appear"
We love and laugh no one else hears
No one at all
And when we're out then we say
"It would appear"
We laugh and laugh no one else hears
No one at all
If you want to be a romantic fool
You don't have to say I love you
Just say what's in your heart
Non-sequiter or not
And without even trying
Find your punch line
