Girl Next Door (04/10/2004)

I like long talks about life, love, and everything
Or how your day went, how mine did, how are you feeling?
I can study, watch tv, or play games in your nintendo
Maybe cook dinner but hope you don't mind it burnt & crispy
Acoustic guitars fulfill my so called fancy
Yet electric ones always make my hips sway kind of nasty
I like the sound of the ocean, the howling wind
The feel of the sun on my face as I squint to see the sky
In time maybe I'll even like the Seattle rain
As I hop into puddles on the streets on our way to class
Though sometimes I tend to overindulge in everything,
I mostly love things that are simple, un-complicated, natural
Like the way your hair falls in front of your face
Or the way you bite the tip of your pen when studying
I guess in a sense, I'm the kind of gal that likes security
Unlike the way LA goes, too upbeat, too fast & furious
People can be too superficial; the girls so beautiful and gorgeous
Maybe you'd like to chase after them in a heartbeat
And leave me alone because I can be a tad boring...
I'm probably the same, yet I try to kind of fight it
There's no sense of jumping off a cliff if you know you're gonna die from it
It's fun, I know, yet the fire dies down easily
Whereas I tend to cultivate it frequently
I'm serious but with a smile, I like to lighten up the room
Perhaps I'm even just a friend
It's all right with me, but there's one thing I want to tell you:
I'm a girl too and would like to find love someday
Not the girl who's "so hot" or "fine" but I get by somehow
Maybe not the girl you'd want to chase after all of the time,
Just the kind you should settle for.
