My Play

I put on a play in my old house In my cape, jumpin' on the old couch Puttin' up lights when it's cold out Mom and dad, both seats sold out Show you my play Haven't seen the old house lately Wonder if they found my spaceship I don't want my own love wasted Tell me this is what you're saying If you both outgrew one another I could start now, lookin' for a lover But if love dies, do I fuckin' bother? I just really, really, really, really wanna show you my play And I don't wanna do it for dad at dad's new place I worked really, really, really, really hard, let me show you my play And I don't wanna do it twice 'cause it's not the same I've been on dates, bringin' flowers Tryna be great for an hour You and me might go sour But if we don't hold out, then we're cowards I put on a play in my basement (basement) Mom and dad's smiling faces (faces) But now I don't know if they faked it (faked it) Guess everything is complicated If you both outgrew one another I could start now, lookin' for a lover But if love dies, do I fuckin' bother? I just really, really, really, really wanna show you my play And I don't wanna do it for dad at dad's new place I worked really, really, really, really hard, let me show you my play And I don't wanna do it twice 'cause it's not the same You did everything, everything, everything that you could We do everything, everything, everything 'til it's through I'll do everything, everything, everything when I'm you But when I show you my play Will you pretend you didn't know if I make a mistake? It's gonna get really, really, really, really bad before it's okay But maybe you'll forget it all while you're watchin' my play --- My Play - AJR
