Spoonful of Sugar

Enveloping Consuming me Overwhelming to say the least Won't you hold me?! Won't you hold me closer, please?! Growing older, such a farce Peripheral maturity Melts away by the time you're on your knees The harder we become The more devastating a single crack can be Enveloping Consuming me Overwhelming To say the least Won't you hold me?! Won't you hold me closer, please?! I'm still a little boy inside Hiding from the boogeyman In the dark corners of my mind But it's so hard to hide From me Enveloping Consuming me Overwhelming To say the least Won't you hold me?! Won't you hold me closer, please?! When everything falls away! Falls away, yeah! It never really died to me, died to me! How do we go about forgiving ourselves?! When all seems to be dead inside And we're the only ones to blame?! So, how do we go about it?! How do we?! How do we?! Sing for today, and hope for tomorrow Run from the thought that always seems to swallow You…
