Gift Lyrics

Hey, I've got a gift for you. 19 long years in the making. A simple, but it's a beautiful thing, and it's all yours for the taking. But it's not something that I could buy, no matter what I spent. Took some searching to find it, though, and now I guess you can see instead that it's bright magenta and it burns and now I guess I've made it yours and I hope you will accept it with my pride. And since you asked for it, I'm gonna throw right in a special bonus package of my secrets. It's a battered sack of embarrassments, all the try-to-forgets and the harrassments, but golly now, I guess I've grown to trust you. Hey, I've got a gift for you. I've taken special care to shape it up and clean it so you'd want to take it anywhere. I spot mopped it and I scrubbed it, and I tried to change its faults, but I soon learned that it can't be changed, so now I guess you've got it all. It's sealed up tight with tiny locks and it's guarded in a gilded box but I swear there's not another one just like it. Hey I've got a gift for you that I've always hidden away; I've kept it so protected even in the times I've gone astray. It's the deepest little thing in me, nobody really knows. I'm handing it over on a leash, so please watch out for where it goes. It doesn't bark or anything, but when it's with you it always sings! So treat it nice, 'cause it's the only one I've got. I gave my gift to you. And now I'm begging you to care for it and make it feel at home. Please don't sell it for something more or crumple it up in a ball on the floor because you've got the only one there is. You know you've got the only one there is
