I miss that boy so much.
Like a burden, I don't own.
I said I miss that boy so much.
Like a burden, I don't know.
I love to dance with him.
I love to look into his eyes
and see the burden he owns.

He runs and hits.
He makes me smile when I think about him.
I said he runs and hits.
He makes me smile when I think about him.
When I scared of this burden,
all I have to do is think about him.

I like to flirt with him.
I like to be frozen with hot chocolate in my hands,
just to give it to him, to wear his hat.
I said I like to flirt with him.
I like to be frozen with hot chocolate in my hands,
just to give it to him, to wear his hat.
I can have him someday,
I will flirt with him no matter what.

He and I may have a long way to go,
Before we admit somethings.
I said he and I may have a long way to go,
Before we admit somethings or take burdens away.
Wishing my burden would go away,
just to dance with him again.
and
live this day all over again.

"Life is like a box of crayons. Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I've got a few missing. It's ok though, because I've got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet the 8-color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation.. so when I meet someone who's an 8-color type.. I'm like, hey girl, magenta! and she's like, oh, you mean purple! and she goes off on her purple thing, and I'm like, no - I want magenta!"
