Penny

A penny for your thoughts
What's left of my ego?
My eyes, a lifetime of blind obedience for your love

I'm just dumb enough to beg
Hands and knees and everything
Short of a diamond ring
I won't be fooled again

I'm wasting my time chasing your light
A circuitous clown balancing on a wire between two lives
Man, I'm just wasted

A penny for your thoughts
And quite literally the entirety of my life insurance policy for your love

I hope it's enough

(Away) You're so soft-spoken you might blow away
(Away) You're so soft-spoken you might blow away
(Away) You're so soft-spoken that I'm afraid you might blow away
I'm afraid
