Once we had a time together –
I made you laugh and I pinched you hard.
The wonder of love was never there.
You were always taller, like in this picture.
Your gold ruffles out-shined this old t-shirt.
I never had your sense of style.
Christmas morning and we were all dressed up?
Did mom make us get it together
or was it just one of her cocktail parties?
Your gold ruffles were fancy like a horse.
You danced and spoke like time was yours.
Your height and build made me seem small
when you wore those jean coveralls.
Your done-up hair had trounced my pumps-
no matter how much air I'd release.
I'd never been able to run or jump
like you could during volleyball season.
Just one more year would mean a world
of difference when we'd be set side-by-side.
I'd have been way shorter
or you'd have been way smarter
instead of this side-by-side.
Now look at us…
a silly maze of misunderstanding.
The wonder of love is all that's here.
I'm much bigger
and it makes me wonder
which one of us has it together.
Now I can wake up early. (you always had that on me)
But you make good decisions.
Let's get together for a cocktail party.
Your fuzzy mane looks like a mohawk.
Your funny face is what I expect, now.
Your skinny legs make me wonder
which one of us has it together.
You don't have to push me nowadays.
I'll do the silly things you say.
But if I could do the things you do
It'd just be like I'm being you.
Let's go another year and see
what difference it makes with us.
Will I finally be taller?
Will you finally be more hip
like me? Is it in the cards for us?
