Peonies

[Verse 1]
Take my hand or put it in your pocket
I don't need to see you tonight
See you tonight
Would only help to break my heart

I left a vase of flowers by the window
Overnight they froze and now
I'm left with a popsicle of peonies
An inedible popsicle of peonies

Every morning I wake up and I look in the mirror
Catalogue all the lines, my face, and time
I don't think it could get any clearer
I can't tell if their yours or mine
I can't tell if they change with time

[Chorus]
But be my maybe lover
I have a sister and a brother
And I can get by
On any kind of love you have

[Verse 2]
Take me down to the edge of the city
I can sit by the shore
I can look around and let you work
I'll let you work
Oh, I know how to be alone
I can sit and read all day
And you say
"Baby, it isn't as it seems
I have unrealistic dreams
Where I'm swimming in a pool
Of bowtie pasta and a small side salad"

[Chorus]
So be my maybe lover
I have a sister and a brother
And I can get by
On any kind of love you have

[Bridge]
It's a secret among men
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Anyway you can
Is there anyway you can
You can be my half a man
Spare anything you can

[Chorus]
So be my, be my lover
I have a sister and a brother
And I can get by
Oh I can get by
I can get by
If you can get by
I can get by
If you can get by
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo (x2)
