She walked with me through streets in Holland,
caught the roller coaster out of town as we talked of snow.
We picked them off in the daisy fields,
but she knew all too well when they're not in the ground they cease to grow.
Forget the sunrise, we moved backwards off the roads
and into chalets that would make the French all stand.
I came to realize, that despite my open wound,
it wasn't love, but her hate I would demand.
Don't break my inhibition with a stone
for you and I, yes, we both know to lack a smile.
Don't hate me for the words I never said,
but, then again, I guess you can hate for a while.
Then I moved up to stay on mattress while she's gone,
but when I slept did I still dream that she was there?
She taught me how to tame the butterflies inside,
but when she didn't look, all I did was stare.
Eleven's gone and she moved back north to her home
leaving me here with a name-tag that just said "Down."
Well, it's a cliche, but never know till "au revoir"
produces attributes that I would like to drown.
