Happy Endings

Standing at the other end of this poison arrow I am William Tell and you are the girl with the golden apple You are hungry to be swept off your feet You want to do this out in the open But my aim is often weak And you fear my shoulders sloping Your split ends will end up falling anyway Before the weight of the apple world Gets to turn them all grey And your eyes they need Calming down Well you are wise And you are free To let the apple touch the ground Or keep standing tall This won't hurt at all You are half asleep You're half of a girl, half of a child Maybe five feet deep You're as tall as the world, up to your eyes And you've been hogging all the sheets Often balling them up, even drawing a line And spending half of your time deciding to roll over When you do I'll there with a smile Expanding far and wide And I'll pull you in much closer In my dreams you are queen of the ball And sometimes you off my head But to me that's a happy ending For you I'd fall 'Cause that wouldn't hurt at All Not at all While this woman is sleeping here I tell her what I can't define but I wake her Powerful but hardly will she ever hear them The secrets that I've saved up You are famous, indeed For all your shyness Ain't that sweet Now ain't this a fine mess We're in so deep I must have got lost in the process Just let things be easy And an honest boy you've made me Because the solace that you gave me Was proven problems ain't the main thing to fall upon The archer's sloping shoulders Well any story's tale is tall Thus reminding love is allegorical I mean the goal here after all Is not to hurt at all --- Happy Endings - Jason Mraz
