Mama, someday you'll be so proud of me
                                        
You'll see me hanging in a New York gallery
                                                
Someday I'm gonna draw from the left side of my brain
                                             
People are gonna ask, "is it brilliant or plain?"


                
But as long as I don't know how to hang a Warhol
                 
I keep sketching birds, that are all like her
                
Very simple and true, like you've known me to do
                     
And if you like 'em, yeah
                           
But if you don't, it's not bad
                   
'Cause I really don't care



                                         
Said, Papa someday I'm gonna write a symphony
                                 
48-piece band all dressed up like me
                                             
I said, I'll write someday the saddest of all songs
                                   
I'm gonna chill the marrow in their bones


                 
But as long as I can't get into Carnegie Hall
               
I keep writing songs that are all my own
                
Very simple and dumb, like I always have done
                     
And if you like 'em, yeah
                      
But if you don't, too bad
                                     
'Cause it's all I have // Ever since I met her,
                                      
I keep thinking, god, how great it is to play a guitar
                                         
This way I feel that she's always with me
                                        
'Cause every other song, underneath it's tongue
             
Is about our love
