How can you just leave me standing
   alone in a world that’s so cold?
   Maybe I’m just too demanding.
   Maybe I’m just like my father: too bold.
   Maybe you’re just like my mother.
   She’s never satisfied.
   Why do we scream at each other?
   This is what it sounds like when doves cry.
   Yes, they cry, oh they cry.

   Oh ah, oh ah
   Dream, if u can, a courtyard, an ocean of violets in bloom.
   Animals strike curious poses.
   They feel the heat, the heat between me and you.
   Maybe you’re just like my mother.
   She’s never satisfied.
