birds and bees Lyrics
the birds used to nest
in that hole in your chest
when you'd sleep in the leaves and the hay
laying still as a stone
a boy dreaming alone
must have been a very sweet place to stay
and here on our bed
it is none but my head
that finds home in this heart beating burrow
the birds came and went
now my love pays the rent
for a heart that is steadfast and thorough
sticky and sweet
the orange trees are in heat
and the summer air is good enough to eat
sticky and sweet
the bees are buzzing all around me
because they heard you call me honey (x2)
i used to play
and for hours i’d stay
among the acres of forgotten lots
In nature i lusted
as my playground rusted
a kingdom i nearly forgot
’till my silly dreams
bore a creature who seemed
to harbor such simple gladness that shook me
i trembled to find
you're not in my mind
and the sting of your proof didn't hurt me
sticky and sweet
the orange trees are in heat
and the summer air is good enough to eat
sticky and sweet
the bees are buzzing all around me
because they heard you call me honey (x2)
in that hole in your chest
when you'd sleep in the leaves and the hay
a boy dreaming alone
must have been a very sweet place to stay
it is none but my head
that finds home in this heart beating burrow
now my love pays the rent
for a heart that is steadfast and thorough
the orange trees are in heat
and the summer air is good enough to eat
sticky and sweet
the bees are buzzing all around me
because they heard you call me honey (x2)
and for hours i’d stay
among the acres of forgotten lots
as my playground rusted
a kingdom i nearly forgot
bore a creature who seemed
to harbor such simple gladness that shook me
you're not in my mind
and the sting of your proof didn't hurt me
the orange trees are in heat
and the summer air is good enough to eat
sticky and sweet
the bees are buzzing all around me
because they heard you call me honey (x2)

i think it's 'steadfast and thorough' not 'dead, fast, and thorough'
It is. They need to be corrected. D:
It is. They need to be corrected. D:
*harbor such simple gladness, not harvest.
All fixed! Sorry for the delay!
I think the lyrics actually go:
*til my silly dreams bore a creature who seems to harbor such simple gladness it shook me
Which seems to make more sense.
