Wrap me up in cotton,
swaddle me in wool,
fold me in the creases of your dress.
I've got holes in my jeans
and my cheeks are burning red.
I'm hanging by a thread around your neck
I can't find enough balloons
to lift me high enough
to keep me from drowning in your lake.
Now I'm laying on the rocks
and I can't work up the nerve
to kiss you with this seaweed on my breath.
I want to know you better.
I can be your house.
Seaweed and sand.
