The Emerald au Pair

lyrics

You type your notes.
Fa sho.

Yet you don’t know the con
Sequences of your actions.

You’re like a slippery slope.
‘Cause your gorgeous frame,
It sets off all of my attraction.

Miss, your words are just a click away,
And they keep me smiling.

I just deleted you,
So I’d never have to see the pictures of her,
On her bed frame, riding him.

But on that other note,

You’re all I want to be,
I see this in your writing.
I’m sure this song will work,

To create an awkward silence,
The next time we’re eyeing.

But miss, your words are just a click away,
And they keep me smiling.

Sad I deleted you,
So I never get to see the pictures of you,
Living your life, smiling.

And every single thing has changed,
Yet still you stayed the same.
And my words, they try to emulate,
Your poetry, yet fade.

Yes miss, your words are just a click away,
And they keep me smiling.

Move onto something new,
‘Cause I never worked up all the courage,
To ask you if…
