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 the 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 the queen of the ball Though sometimes you off me 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 that a fine mess? We're in so deep We let go of the process And just let things be easy And be 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 live is allegorical I mean the goal here after all Is not to hurt (Na-na-na-na-na-na-na) (Na-na-na-na-na-na-na) Happy Birthday
