You left it, I sent it I want it back You left it, I sent it I want it back If I had you here, I'd clip your wings Snap you up and leave you sprawling on my pin This plan of mine is oh so very lame Can't you see the grass is greener where it rains You left, I died, I went and you cried You came, I think But I never really know I've served my time I've watched you climb The wrong incline But what do I know Accept it, don't let it Turn the screw Accept it, and let it Scream back at you Now this applies equally to you and I The only thing we share Is the same sky These empty metaphors They're all in vain Like can't you see the grass is greener where it rains You left, I died, I went and you cried You came, I think But I never really know I've served my time I've watched you climb The wrong incline But what do I know And I lie behind you And a cradle you in the palm of me And I pat your hair down I think will we sink or swim? ' Cause we could do either on a whim In the garden Snake was charmin' And Eve said let's give it a try Now lead us not into temptation But Eve is the apple of my eye.
