from Ukulele Songs, released September 1, 2012
I just want to
hang onto you,
three more minutes and I
promise I’ll let go.

I would take you with me,
but that’d be silly-
you’d never fit and my
bags would overflow

and security would take me by the hand,
threaten to detain me, and then
make the airplane land.
And they’d call me a terrorist,
but all of this I’d gladly risk
if you and I could always be together.

Well, I just want to
hold onto you,
ten more minutes and I
promise I’ll let go.

You are sharp and spiky,
kind of like me, that’s
why I like you,
but you already know

that my love for you’s
contingent on my mood,
level of sobriety,
and phases of the moon.
So don’t get too offended
if what I say is off-handed
it’s only ‘cause you know me
so much better

Than anyone I’ve met so far,
and maybe it was destiny
that we are where we are.
So, please don’t look at me that way.
I’m gone, but I’ll be
coming back someday.

Well, I don’t want to
hang up on you,
just one more hour and I
promise I’ll let you go.

I would kill to be there,
I know it’s not fair,
but life is not fair and
I’ll be coming home.
