Lullaby

Lullaby

It's a quarter after two
all the wreckage outside
reminds me of you
At a quarter after three
I wrote down the words
how much you mean to me
and I'm not sure
I don't know how
you seem to take my heart
and make it a bit squishy mess

You say to me ignore me
You say that you don't care for me
You smiled and then you left me
...things could work out
You say to me you hate me
And now you just make fun of me
Remember how they used to be
...things could work out
If you sing to me that lullaby again
Hold me and sing that song again

It's a quarter after four
I stood here and thought
of you some more
At five o'clock I call
But somehow your words
just make my heart fall
to my knees
I guess that I'll just sit here
and stare right through the window
and wonder what you mean

when you say to me ignore me
You say that you don't care for me
You smiled and then you left me
...things could work out
You say to me you hate me
And now you just make fun of me
Remember how they used to be
...things could work out
If you sing to me that lullaby again
Hold me and sing that song again

It's six o'clock A.M.
I thought I'd try to ring you up again
and sometime after ten
four police are banging on my door
but then
I'm not sure
Why you think that all
of those court orders matter
when there's so much love between us

when you say to me ignore me
You say that you don't care for me
You smiled and then you left me
...things could work out
You say to me you hate me
And now you just make fun of me
Remember how they used to be
...things could work out
If you sing to me that lullaby again
Hold me and sing that song again
"Rain, rain go away
come again some other day."
