lyrics

I’d never force you from the forest
Heist the hatchet from your hands
I’d never pull on all your fingers
If you didn’t want to dance
I’d never show my naked body
if you truly needed sleep
‘Cause you’re not my little play thing
And I never want to be
your Last Word Queen

I’d never put you in the spotlight
if that song was just for me
Or blow smoke rings in your face dear
If you got down on one knee
I’d never shoo you to the shoreline
if that’s not where you longed to be
‘Cause you’re not my little play thing
And I never want to be
your Last Word Queen

I’ve watched you draw your pictures
in invisible ink
I hear every word you’re saying
even when you don’t speak
I’d sit and wait for your final answer
if it took the longest week
‘Cause you’re not my little play thing
And I never want to be
your Last Word Queen

So even though I’m your ally
Please correct me where I’m wrong
Shine a light on all the places
I can’t reach you with my song
Your love is my horizon
And I’m your shoreline pine
Though we share the same bright sky dear
I’d never try to make you mine

I’d never force you from the forest
