I Wanted Maxfield Parrish

I wanted Maxfield Parrish For you and with only you A dream I know A laugh to you? Oh, how it couldn't be. Now, there's been no point For a long time for any apologies As much as I want to give them, you know Ridiculous and hollow to you? Yeah, what could I say? How about thanks For the pain and the longing A surprise I know A bad joke to you? But I'm serious. This is our paradise present For the past and the waste It seems to make sense I know A mere nothing to you? That's fine. If you need us to be dead For my wrongs and your pity A shame I know Any burden to you? Let go of it. What I see is a tomorrow For you and with you A lot of chutzpah I know Is it the putative old sick obsession just re-twisted? See for yourself. Today my guaranteed fare thee well is here For you and yours A shock I know My goodbye is another lie to you? No, my Love.
