Take my hand or put it in your pocket
I don’t need to see you tonight
To see you tonight would only help to break my heart

I left a vase of flowers by the window
Over night 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 on my face in time
I don’t think it could get any clearer
I can’t tell if they’re yours or mine
I can’t tell if they change with time

Be my maybe lover
I have a sister and a brother
And I can get by on any kind of love you have

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

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

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

It’s a secret among men
Oh, any way you can
Is there any way you can
You can be my half a man
Spare anything you can

So 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
