Happy Endings

Alright, this one here is for Jessica on her 25th birthday

You are naked
Standing at the other end
Of this poison arrow
I am William Tell
And you are the girl
With the golden apple
You are hungry to be
Swept off your feet
You wanna get it out in the open
But my aim is often weak

And you fear
My shoulder's sloping
Your split ends
Will end up falling anyway
Before the weight of the apple world
Gets to turn them all grey
And your eyes
They need
Calming down

Well, you are wise
And you are free
To let the apple touch the ground
Or keep standing tall
Yeah, this won't hurt at all

You are half asleep
Half of a girl
Half of a child
Maybe six feet deep
As tall as the world
Up to your eyes
And you are hogging all the sheets
Often, balling them up
Even drawing the line

And spending half of your time
Deciding to roll over
And when you do
I'll be there with a smile
Expanding far and wide
And I pull you in much closer
In my dreams
You are queen of the ball
Though sometimes you off my head

But to me, that's a happy ending
For you, I'd fall
Yeah, that wouldn't hurt at all
Not at all

While this
Woman is sleeping here
I tell her what I can't
If I were to wake her
Powerful, but hardly will she ever hear the
Secrets that I've saved up

And we are famous, indeed
For all the shyness
Ain't that sweet?
Ain't this a fine mess?
We're in so deep
We let go of the process
And just let things be easy

And an honest boy, you've made me
Because the solace that you gave me
Was proven
Problems ain't the main thing to fall upon
The archer's sloping shoulders
Any story's tale is tall, and thus
Reminding love is allegorical
I mean, the goal here after all
Is not to hurt at all

Na-na-na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na-na

Happy Birthday
