I met a green-eyed girl back just a year or two,
She wore a plastic dress, you could see right through.
She was smokin' hot like a cherry in the wind.
Others disdain, and tell me I have sinned.
But i don't get it, it doesn't make any sense at all,
Cuz all i wanted to do was respond to natures call,
And i love her, she's my bride to be,
But her price is pure insanity
Just take this from me,
If your cups half full then,
There's no need to worry.
I wanna tell you bout a dream she was in last night,
I just sat with her and everything was alright,
She was there replacing every single tree,
Just enough to satisfy me.
We keep on coming and going until our minds' rebuff,
We'll know we're fine if we find that we only have enough.
You may think its sad, don't you see?
It doesn't matter, no, it doesn't matter to,
Me,
So let me help you see,
If your cups half empty,
Then come with me.
The world is slowing down
Since she's around
I rather like the sound of my breathing
When they come around
She's always leaving
She best be gone before I find I'm fiending
