| Staring up into the solar system
|
| All the stars are fixed up in the sky
|
| I just want to sparkle for a moment
|
| Before I just fizzle out and die
|
| I’m happy because I’m stupid
|
| Scared of spiders, scared of flying
|
| If I wasn’t so happy
|
| I wouldn’t be so scared of dying
|
| So just be gentle with me
|
| (I'm not as young as I was)
|
| And I’ll be gentle with you
|
| I’m not as brave as I thought
|
| 'Cause my heart gets broken so easily
|
| So just be gentle, be gentle with me Wide awake, waiting like a target
|
| Listening for things I cannot see
|
| Insects flutter up against my window
|
| I don’t like the way they look at me
|
| I guess I’ve always needed
|
| To be needed by someone
|
| It’s a comforting feeling
|
| Being under someone’s thumb
|
| So just be gentle with me
|
| (And if I am ever mean)
|
| And I’ll be gentle with you
|
| I never mean to be mean
|
| 'Cause I want to pick peaches off of a cherry tree
|
| Just be gentle, be gentle, be gentle, be gentle with me So just be gentle with me Trouble is sometimes
|
| And I’ll be gentle with you
|
| I just can’t switch myself off when I want to so I never do Because I’m mental, be gentle, be gentle
|
| Just be gentle, be gentle, be gentle
|
| And I’ll be gentle, be gentle, be gentle, be gentle with you |
