Alligator. Alligators.

So I'm running down 5th avenue, headed south
I'm going to get you that ring I've been thinking about
I hope that you will like it, I know that you'll like it
I know that you've got your necklace and braclets
So it's different, I'm different
I know that you're different
And it doesn't make a difference
Our differences differ, cause it makes us the same
and I needed the change to call you that day
I tried to get you that ring, i said
"Baby, it's Jerry, my cell phone was dead
I need you, I'm freezing, my cheeks are rose-red"
So you came to my rescue and kissed my cold lips
You said, "baby, I'm here, please don't miss me like this"
But I did , and I do, and I will and I wont
Settle for my bed that's increasingly cold
I dream every night that you're biting my wrists
New Orleans and vampires, I miss you like this
and I did.
I met you at a party, you grabbed me and smiled
You knew me from class, I fell for you like a child
It was just an accident, I don't know what happened
Next thing I knew, we were kissing and laughing
And I took you to dinner, and we danced in my kitchen
And we tried to be quiet when Lauren knew we were kissing
We partied real hard and stayed up till dawn
Having the best you-know-what all day long
Remember when Kevin walked in on us drunk?
Then he messed up his car, man, that party was fun
I loved watching you play your piano and violin
And you loved it when I tried to sing you to bed
You said, "Baby, oh baby! Please sing me to sleep!"
And I tried and I tried not to slip out of key
But I did, like I do, so I'd stop to kiss you
But you were already asleep, and I'd laugh cause it's cute
I miss you
Elliott Smith was right when he said
"nobody broke 'my' heart", yeah I broke my own
Cause I can't finish what I start
Don't leave me, Don't leave me
The bronx is my coffin, and you are my chocolate
put kisses in my pocket
Alligator, alligators, all covered in orange
Biting my fingernails while you dream of New Orleans
Well, for kissing in taxi cabs, romance in resteraunts;
For eating home made dinners that took me to long;
For your dark hair, dark eyes, and all your surprises;
For the way that I run, and Clark Kent
I've decided that I want you to be happy with whatever you do
And wherever you are, I'll be thinking of you
I'm sorry I'm an asshole, I said things I don't mean
Thank you for everything, I'll miss you, Lizzie G.
And I do.
