I figure you wouldn't have the time
I would tell you what is on my mind
but I figure you wouldn't have the time
to listen to this childish rhyme
and besides I couldn't write it
because the words would burst from the pages and lined spaces
and shoot into the stars and shine into unexpected places
then everyone would know of all my secrets and dreams
I'm dying to tell you and I'm bursting by the seams
when you ask I tell you instead
" Nothing is on my mind," and then whisper
"I figure you wouldn't have the time..."
