The Thing About Them

Lyrics

[Intro] What will happen now? Now there was this thing about them That caused me at times to doubt them Or created conflict in my mind: Usually there was a he one And there also was a she one But somehow they came out differently And one of them, when she was she Would smile and burn a hole in me; A hole that was too hard for me to hide Once I had a dream about her In a field, alone outside a Tiny little cottage made of sticks It was much too small to use it So she bumped her head and bruised it Trying to get through the tiny door Afterwards, I went to tell her But it was the he, I felt, who Nodded at my words indifferently And of course when this would happen There was still a she to tap upon My shoulder from the other side But it wasn't her who looked then Close perhaps, but like some bookend That had come misshapen from its mate So I told myself there must be Some way I can make them just be Who I want to be with all the time Cause it kept me at a distance But my senses kept insisting It was much more interesting inside
