sonnets Lyrics

Down south Alabama

I could write a sonnet on the trees

Born in California

Suddenly I know what beauty means

I think love would be like this

Take a chance on the unknown green

I like to think they'd write a sonnet

If someone took a chance on me

Californians love the beach

But say it's cold waiting for July

Lovin's scary so we wait

Betting on a neon sign

I think the cold's refreshing

You'd never know until you try

Sure I love being alone

With the warmth of July in the back of my mind

Can't learn to breathe underwater

Solitude is sweet so why bother

Uncomforted ego most of my life

It's a silly thing to want and not try

Plane leaves tomorrow do I take it or not

Love to be alone in the safety of the dark

Down south Alabama

I have written sonnets on the trees

Back in California

I was looking for beauty

I don't know if love's like this

I'm too scared of the risk

If my greenery permits

I think they would write sonnets
