Elizabeth & Elizabeth

Oh, Elizabeth and Elizabeth
These city legs cannot take the hard gravel of your driveway
You and your advanced books
And your polka dotted look
We rang bells made out of clay
And yelled for somebody to save us

Well, now, all these years all I can say is I wish I had been more brave for you
Don't worry, pretty soon we'll see the big hot air balloon
And we'll let them land right here

And we'll meet here every year by the river
And we'll meet here every year by the river
And we'll meet here every year by the river
And we'll meet here every year

Oh, did I mention I am terribly afraid of all the crawfish?
Let's build a fort instead
I swear to keep it safe to the day that I am dead
We could paint college dorms forever
Or I could get famous and then
Our moms would never have to ever work again

Remember when we were camping
Your dad knew all about the bears
Said you can scare them with your yelling
Now I raise my voice when I tell him
I don't hear him
But he still stood right there

And so my question is
How in the whole world do you get rid, oh-oh-oh-oh
Of someone who seems to care, care, care, care!
And now I care
And now I care
Now I care
Oh, I don't know, guess I'll give in

Oh, Elizabeth and Elizabeth
Let your phone ring
For I have ruined everything
