Pea Lyrics

That man's attention may well have been lost

But what good did it bring anyway

If one day you might dare to ask what he liked about you

He'd find nothing to say

Skimming woman-shaped stones across the lake

Barely taking time to feel their edge

Never noticing their unique patterns

He just wants to make a splash

That man's affection may well have been fake

But then he never had what it takes

High time to admit that you might well have been

But a mere stepping stone in his life

Digging up rocky memories from the past

No need to go deep to make it ache

Doesn't take the time to get to know you

He just wants to excavate

He turned you inside out

Shrunk you down to a small green pea

Now you live under his mattress

Weaving his bad dreams

Haunting his sleep

Oh who am I kidding

It's he who's haunting me

That man's profession may seem more important

Than you'd ever dream to be

Just one little brick in the wall of his skyscraper tower

Built of heartless concrete

Giant boulders still one day end in sand

Giant steps won't reach that promised land

Set alight that home that you were building

He just wants to crash and burn

He turned you inside out

Shrunk you down to a small green pea

Now you live under his mattress

Appear in his nightmares

Wrecking his sleep

He turned you inside out

Shrunk you down to a tiny pea

Now you live under his mattress

Weaving his bad dreams

Haunting his sleep

Oh who am I kidding

It's he who's haunting me
