In twenty years from now
I want to be nowhere
I live life day by day
Just sitting in the same chair

If it wasn’t for you
I’d have taken root
You gave me a brand new meaning
An extra season

And all of this
From a girl whos
Scared of the spiders
And shes scared of the dark

Shes scared of the bogeymen in
The park
But if anybody comes near me
I know she’ll cut their balls off

They wrote a book about her
Its taken the place of the
Holy Bible
I’d send her to the stars

But the universe couldn’t handle that ego
If it wasn’t for you, I’d have taken root
You gave me a brand new meaning
An extra season

And all of this
From a girl whos
Scared of the spiders
And shes scared of the dark

Shes scared of the bogeymen in
The park
But if anybody comes near me
I know she’ll cut their balls off

Scared of the spiders
And shes scared of the dark
Shes scared of the bogeymen in
The park

But if anybody comes near me
I know she’ll cut their
If anybody comes near me
I know she’ll cut their
If anybody comes near me
I know she’ll cut their balls off
