I don't wanna let you go,
tie a string around yer toe.
Come find me when the sun comes up,
we'll hug until we've had enough.
But we love hugs so we'll never stop,
hug until we reach the top,
of the never ending staircase-
don't forget yer briefcase.
Cause you'll need all yer paperwork,
to understand my pencil skirt,
there's no lead in there you know,
that would hurt and stain the snow.
But who will come and save me,
when I get all crazy?
Who will come and save me,
when I get all crazy?
I open my eyes and see you there,
you kept the string on cause you care,
the sun is setting behind those trees,
hold me tighter and I won't sneeze-
into the sleeve that's you warm,
it looks to be a little torn,
just like my heart when we let go,
I miss you and I want to know:
if you'll miss me into the night,
and wish that you could hold me tight.
Come inside, turn off the light
and everything will be alright.
