An Elephant’s Business (Lyrics)
Once again, you and me
In a room that’s not made for three
And the elephant’s getting
A bit too big to breathe a whole lot
And you fail to see
The stillness in me
‘Cause I’m jumping all the time
And my mind it buzzes with thought
I’m full of soul and
I’m nothing if not made of heart
But you look away
And what can I say?
I’m an open eye
Always searching for something to learn
You’re an inward smile
Just itching for a new place to burn
I guess you’re young and dumb
But I’m not giving none
Because I would rather be alone
Than to be with someone that’s all wrong
And if you can’t see me
For everything that I could be
Then honey I’m not waiting
I’m not waiting ‘til you’re grown
Once again, you and I
And I’m so unimpressed
You can forget the rest
‘Cause you’ve failed the test
You’re too underdressed
And you stare at my chest
And say ‘what?’
You just fail to be
The man of my dreams
Honey, I would rather be alone
Than to be with someone that’s all wrong
And if you can’t be
Everything that I could need
Well sugar I’m not waiting
I’m not waiting ‘til you’re grown
