When I Was Small

I walk down the street
tripping on ivy
imagining peat
beneath my feet

all tangled in lichen
I think I like it
I think I miss it
I think it was neat

When I was small I sat on tree roots
smelled the grass and picked at weeds
Laid myself back and looked at the big sky
belonged to the world and felt complete

Fairies belonged there
dwarves and gnomes
No one told me
I should not be alone

I believed in good things
in holy rings
and gentle rains
that would never wet me
never let me
catch a cold

...or feel any pain

Mountains were small hills
that I could walk
in one giant step
Highways were short roads
that I could run
if I was left

…behind

And the sun was there
in my sky
just for me
shining on me

And life was good then
I didn't know
how else it could be
what else it could be

When I was small I sat on tree roots
smelled the grass and picked at weeds
Laid myself back and looked at the big sky
belonged to the world and felt complete
Feels Good Inc.

    let's get small.

    When you were mine
    I gave you all of my money
    Time after time
    You done me wrong
    It was just like a dream
    You let all my friends come over and meet
    And you were so strange
    You didnt have the decency to change the sheets

    Oh girl, when you were mine
    I used to let you wear all my clothes
    You were so fine (so fine)
    Maybe thats the reason
    That it hurt me so

    I know (I know)
    That youre going with another guy
    I dont care (dont care)
    Cuz I love u, baby, thats no lie
    I love you more than I did
    When you were mine

    When you were mine
    You were kinda sorta my best friend
    So I was blind (so blind)
    I let you fool around
    I never cared (didnt care)
    I never was the kind to make a fuss
    When he was there
    Sleeping inbetween the two of us

    I know (I know)
    That youre going with another guy
    I dont care (dont care)
    Cuz I love you, baby, thats no lie
    I love you more than I did
    When you were mine

    When you were mine
    U were all I ever wanted to do
    Now I spend my time
    Following him whenever hes with you

    I know (I know)
    That youre going with another guy
    I dont care (dont care)
    Cuz I love you, baby, thats no lie
    I love you more that I did
    When you were mine

    When you were mine, yeah, oh no
    Love you, baby
    Love you, baby
    When you were mine
