erything I've

From the age o

red, maybe thi

              
ngs I've just 

   
forgot
              
But as far as 

              
I can figure,

Crowds and pup

              
pets, dying in

   
 a fire

Being washed right out to sea
              
Losing all of 

         
my front teeth

Being buried half-alive
              
Bugs that burr

          
ow deep inside

Wild dogs, and things like that
              
Domesticated m

        
ice and rats

Not all of them, just their feet
 N.C.
Or that my whole life could be sleep

Ferris-wheels 

and certain bl

ues
              
Oh, but mainly

house I'd like

              
 to build for

unrealistic, I

              
'm not very go

ds
              
If we had to w

Borrow money f

All we need's 

              
four walls to 

              
hold us, and a

              
 roof to keep

A bed big enou

Keep us shelte
