I Will Never Write An Obligatory Song About Being On The Road And Miss

Like a virgin befalled by the danger
Poetry was never this real to me
Well, I was too far gone to save her
Oh Lordy, the sun is coming up
A marshmallow into a cloud
I'll never shut up again
I'm fucking disavowed
Take this pen to paper
In a stink there with four total strangers
I am lost cause freedom has it's cost
My box is full, I'll call you later
I want my baby back
I want my baby back
I miss you, miss you
I want my baby back
I want my baby back
I miss your kiss, I miss you
I was hoping you were open
But you were not, I missed my shot
But then you called me
What befalled me
I never knew, I never knew it was you
I got my baby back
I got my baby back
I miss you, miss you
I got my baby back
I got my baby back
I miss your kiss, I miss you
And I got you back
And I got you back
And I got you back
And I got you, got you back
Take this pen to paper
Watch me take this pen to paper, woah
I take this pen to paper
Watch me take this pen to paper, woah
