Wallflower
						(Newquist)


I could have died, maybe I should have 
Died.
When I saw you walk inside, and as you
Shut the door
I put my eyes back on the floor.
When all I really wanted was to look some more.

Does a wallflower play,
Or does a wallflower stay on his wall?

You see I live alone, 
But I've made my happy home.
All my furniture is centered around my 
Phone.
I'm waiting for a call,
My imaginary friends and all.
Those who would never let me be taken 
By the fall.
Does a wallflower know, 
When it's time he outgrow his wall?
Tell me does a wallflower know 
When It's about time he outgrow his wall...

Time and time and only time has feeling
For me.
Maybe Father Time will feel sorry for me.
I knew when there was time, when I knew
It all.
Why don't I ever leave my wall?
Why don't I ever leave my wall?
...I don't ever leave my wall.

You know that siren's getting louder,
And these people are starting to crowd in on me.
(all I smell and taste is garlic and gunpowder)
I shot the bad guy dead - but he got me 
In the head.
With the girl of my dreams sht's mentioning
To me how much I've bled.

Where does a wallflower go, 
When their flowers get pulled from this wall?
Though she says I'm brave and bold,
She knows a flower cannot hold up a wall.
I can't hold up this wall any longer...
