Punctuation Marks Lyrics

Orange cream cookies, crumbs in a plastic bag

The colt runs like me, amniotically clad

You take off your sweater & swiftly fold it in your lap

It's not one of the ones I bought you. Why is that

She grits her teeth and growls: I'll bite you

And I even thought it through

I say: sure. Giving her the go ahead to nosh on me like her favorite food

Or leave it alone like we usually do.

I go to clean the office almost forgot to disarm the alarm

Pain shoots up my leg and then I think about your arms

Then I imagine you lifting me upside down like a bully at their park

And all the lyrics fall from my pockets - and I'm left with just punctuation marks

The Ellipsis… Just hangs me out to dry

The Exclamation! Hails a riled up cry

The comma, it's a pause in our timeline

The Question? Makes me wonder why

The hyphen- It could make us collide

But the apostrophe's meaning isn't ever mine

The Period. To the finish, To July
