What I want
I cannot seem to understand
how you make novelties of
things I wouldn't
boy, I am depending on you
until you fall through or
I find someone who will lie
with me on the scratchy couch
who I can look at and love
What I want is a boy who won't tell me
what he's thinking
who won't tell me
what I'm thinking
who blindly follows
but walks away at the right times
smokes my brand of cigarettes
who's nervous but keeps cool
who kisses me at the right times
loves words, rolling off tounges
he'll make sense of the mess of lyrics
radiating the tape deck
who wants to know
he'll care about things I'm interested in
he'll cook omlets
he'll laugh with my parents
he'll keep his arms clean
long hair in his eyes
shattering blue
nice neat teeth
drives real fast
but keeps slow in bed
he likes sun on his face
he can stay quiet but always thinking
he does nice things without being asked
he treats his mom real sweet
his eyes are big
swallow light in big gulps
his face is smooth, childish
he makes things matter
he smiles just for me
he reads big books
listens to crying music
makes my words matter
he's unavailable to other girls
bites his nails
not a cancer
loyal
buys me sweet little things
