I Thought I Could Love You

from Boys & Eros by Laura Meyer

/

lyrics

I thought I'd fall out the window of the plane
If it tried to turn too tight
I thought I'd grow a tree in my belly
If a seed got stuck inside

I thought the alligators would eat my feet
If they hung off the bed at night
I thought a monster would come to steal me
If I didn't leave on a light

Amazingly, I thought I could love you
And still be all right

Should've known
From all those bedtime stories I read
You were the wolf in sheep's clothing
And I was the little pig

Now I am a woman
Though I still feel so much like a child
Especially when I think of
All those times spent by your side

Amazingly, I thought I could love you
And still be all right
