Leaving behind the safe, dark hiding place of the past

You walked right by me. I was right
Behind the hair, inside the clothes.

And treading warily out into the harsh daylight of now
I'm coming to find you.

Dontcha get scared out here in the dark?
I know I would I mean I guess I am
Kinda but maybe if you'll hold my hand.

I know it's sorta queer
And all
Us both being big kids now
And all

But I've been looking for something for so long now

It's just that it seems like
Every time I start to look I find you I thought
Yeah I know we're much too old, you know
But maybe this time I thought. . .

But then when I look at you
Something in that open, honest, grown-up smile
Frightens me--terribly, wonderfully--
And I retreat once more into the haven
Of irresponsibility and immaturity
And we are reduced once more
To the awkward language of childhood.

Grow up!
Act your age!
Don't be such a

Baby

Baby

 

You're it.
