There's this one paper boy
He won't leave me alone
No matter what I say
I tell him everything
I think about him that's bad
But my scissors won't scare him away
And I really don't want to hurt him
But he's leaving me no choice
And I really don't want to hurt him
I printed it out in every language
I even wrote it on his hand
But he seems to care about me
I write on him in permanent pen
I poke holes every now and then
But he keeps saying he won't leave
Paper boy left his paper heart for me
I keep trying to let him know
It'll only work when the sun sets at noon
But he will make it happen
I tell him to swim all day
Until his paper soul is wrinkled
But he'll just keep swimming laps, and
I really don't want to hurt him
But he's leaving his mark on me
And I really don't want to hurt him
I printed it out in every language
I even wrote it on his hand
But he seems to care about me
I write on him in permanent pen
I poke holes every now and then
But he keeps saying he won't leave
Paper boy left his paper heart for me
Man, I was really hoping it wouldn't come to this
I think he needs to stop trying before he misses
I really don't want to hurt him
Or is it that I really don't want him to hurt me
I printed it out in every language
I even wrote it on his hand
But he seems to care about me
I write on him in permanent pen
I poke holes every now and then
But he keeps saying he won't leave
Paper boy left his paper heart for me
I wrote it out in my best hand writing
I left it out away from the pain
And hope that he feels it too
Paper boy's left his mark on me
My scissors didn't do anything to
Keep him from saying, "I love you"
Oh, and I fell in love with a paper boy today
Remade his water soaked soul
Redefined and retraced lines so everyone will know
I feel in love with a paper boy sometime
I don't know what made it happen
But it's starting to show
And I fell in love with a paper boy today

I wrote this song at about 3 am this morning. I was thinking about someone very dear to me, and someone not so dear to me anymore. At first, I started thinking about Eric, but it sounded too upbeat, and I didn't want Paper Boy to be torn into a thousand pieces at the end [no matter how fun that would be.] So, I started to think about the latest guy I like, who will go nameless because he is on my friends list now. [If you know who he is and say anything in a comment, it will be deleted. If you tell him I wrote a song for him, I KILL you. Slowly and painfully, might I add.]
I've figured out how to play 'Victor's Theme' and 'Tears to Shed' from the Corpse Bride on guitar. I have them down on one hand, but figuring out the bass clef part has never been a strong point for me. Oh, well. I'll have it done soon enough.
Lately, I've heard no songs that stood out to me that I could write a depressing journal entry too. [You may now come out of the shock induced coma if you wish.] If someone has a song that you think I might want to listen to or use, feel free to send it this way.
Hands Off! is now my new favorite manga of all time. And I made a quiz to see how well you know me. Gaia is too flaming homosexual to host the link, so go on my Myspace if you want to take it.
Sherwood is now my favorite band of all time. [Buy me their cd. Just kidding. But if you did, I'd probably like you more.]
That's all I can think of right now.
Your Lord and Master,
Lois
