Vienna Teng - Stray Italian Greyhound lyrics

rate me

<BR>

Oh no not now<br>

Please not now<br>

I just settled into the glass half empty<br>

Made myself at home<br>

And so why now<br>

Please not now<br>

I just stopped believing in happy endings<br>

Harbors of my own<br>

<br>

But you had to come along didn't you<br>

Break down the doors, throw open windows<br>

Oh if you knew just what a fool you have made me<br>

<br>

So what do I do with this?<br>

<br>

This stray Italian greyhound<br>

These inconvenient fireworks<br>

This ice-cream-covered screaming hyperactive thought<br>

God I just want to lay down<br>

These colors make my eyes hurt<br>

This feeling calls for everything that I am<br>

Not<br>

<br>

I'm not that kind<br>

I'm so good at shooting down any notion<br>

This tired world could change<br>

It's all been bought<br>

Or at least that was my line<br>

No use in spending all that emotion<br>

When there's someone else to blame<br>

<br>

But you had to come along didn't you<br>

Rev up the crowd, rewrite the rule book<br>

Where do I go when every 'n' turns into 'maybe'<br>

<br>

So what do I do with this?<br>

<br>

This sudden burst of sunlight<br>

And me with my umbrella<br>

Cross-indexing every weatherman's report<br>

I was ready for the downslide<br>

But not for spring to well up<br>

This feeling calls for everything I can't afford<br>

To know<br>

Is possible now<br>

<br>

What do I do<br>

With a love that won;t sit still<br>

Won't do what it's told<br>

What do I do<br>

With a love that won't sit still<br>

<BR><BR>
