"Stealing Flowers"
Words and Music by Just A Hobby
Appears on Pish Posh
"Why do you cry at night? Your future's so very bright."
That's what they tell me this year.
"Your prospects are very high. There is no need to cry."
But that's not what I want to hear.
The future looks very bleak. At least it does when I peek
Through the fingers that cover my eyes.
There's little for me to see. Nothing or me to be.
I might as well get drunk or get high.
Sit in my little room. Radio gently booms.
Put a pillow over my head.
Thinking just makes me sick. Play with my little prick.
Sometimes I just want to be dead.
Touch me. Hold me.
Keep me from being so cold.
Love you. Need you.
I just need someone to hold.
I just can't sleep at night. Forgot to turn off the light.
Thoughts bouncing all round my brain.
Feels like I gotta go, but I don't really know.
My life is like a mystery train.
Finally drift off to sleep. Never comes really deep.
I wake up as soon as I dream.
Dreaming was really hot but now it's eight o'clock.
Gotta get up and get clean.
Trudge off the daily work. My back and my feet hurt.
Gonna lose this job in three weeks.
Still got me working hard punching my timecard.
Why do I feel like a freak?
Touch me. Hold me.
Let me feel you under my hand.
Love you. Need you.
Make me feel the way that you can.
Don't know what I'm gonna do. Nothing I've learned is true.
My life is just dust in the wind.
God doesn't really care. Life isn't very fair.
I don't know what lies round the bend.
But you keep me company. You are all that I need.
You are my special friend.
You're all that I have to keep me from being sad.
You'll be with me until the end.
Real love will always be just out of reach for me
But I know you'll always be there.
Silently waiting here as I shed my last tear
'Cause we know that life isn't fair.
Touch me. Hold me.
I can't wait until I get home.
Love you. Need you.
Keep me from being alone.
Touch me. Hold me.
Keep me from being so cold.
Love you. Need you.
I just need someone to hold.
