Sarah Dooley - Peonies lyrics

[Verse 1] Take my hand or put it in your pocket I don't need to see you tonight See you tonight Would only help to break my heart I left a vase of flowers by the window Overnight they froze and now I'm left with a popsicle of peonies An inedible popsicle of peonies Every morning I wake up and I look in the mirror Catalogue all the lines, my face, and time I don't think it could get any clearer I can't tell if their yours or mine I can't tell if they change with time [Chorus] But be my maybe lover I have a sister and a brother And I can get by On any kind of love you have [Verse 2] Take me down to the edge of the city I can sit by the shore I can look around and let you work I'll let you work Oh, I know how to be alone I can sit and read all day And you say "Baby, it isn't as it seems I have unrealistic dreams Where I'm swimming in a pool Of bowtie pasta and a small side salad" [Chorus] So be my maybe lover I have a sister and a brother And I can get by On any kind of love you have [Bridge] It's a secret among men Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Anyway you can Is there anyway you can You can be my half a man Spare anything you can [Chorus] So be my, be my lover I have a sister and a brother And I can get by Oh I can get by I can get by If you can get by I can get by If you can get by Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo (x2)
