Text by Naomi Shihab Nye
Music lives inside my legs,
It’s coming out when I talk.
There’s a stopper in my arm
that’s not going to let me grow any bigger.
I’ll be like this always, small.
I’ll invite a bee to live in your shoe.
What if you found your shoe
full of honey?
My tongue is the car wash
for the spoon.
Just think-no one has ever seen
inside this peanut before!
When I grow up my old names
will live in the house
where we live now.
I’ll come and visit them.
What does minus mean?
I never want to minus you.
I do and don’t love you -
isn’t that happiness?

i love your style. it’s very sophisticated but is also playful and new sounding. i especially love songs with random text, so this is awesome! Goodbye Then is another of my favorites (especially voiced TTBB).
