let's go back, you an me dance with me, i'll twirl with the dust mop and you'll laugh and pick dust out of my hair and say i'll never be old let's go back, you an me record me stealthily when i sing obscenely-loud songs in the shower and play them over and over and over as i blush different shades of fire let's go back, you an me tickle me while i'm tryin' to play hopscotch as i beg for mercy between gasps and giggles and threaten to wet my pants let's go back, you an me take me for never-ending piggy back rides, pretendin' i'm flyin' then dump me on the dewy grass, make me laugh because you're laughing let's go back, you an me i'll push you in the fountain and you'll grin and pull me in with you, we'll float on our backs ignorin' the stares and watch night fall in little pieces, here and here except for in your eyes, which blind me let's go back, you an me paint sloppy, clumsy kisses on my cheeks and make stupid looking necklaces out of sparkly plastic beads you know ill never wear let's go back, you an me whisper in my ear forever so that now i can hear you in my head and smile smiles that don't reach my eyes and dance with the dust mop pretendin' that it's you

dust mop dancin'
let's go back, you an me dance with me, i'll twirl with the dust mop and you'll laugh and pick dust out of my hair and say i'll never be old let's go back, you an me record me stealthily when i sing obscenely-loud songs in the shower and play them over and over and over as i blush different shades of fire let's go back, you an me tickle me while i'm tryin' to play hopscotch as i beg for mercy between gasps and giggles and threaten to wet my pants let's go back, you an me take me for never-ending piggy back rides, pretendin' i'm flyin' then dump me on the dewy grass, make me laugh because you're laughing let's go back, you an me i'll push you in the fountain and you'll grin and pull me in with you, we'll float on our backs ignorin' the stares and watch night fall in little pieces, here and here except for in your eyes, which blind me let's go back, you an me paint sloppy, clumsy kisses on my cheeks and make stupid looking necklaces out of sparkly plastic beads you know ill never wear let's go back, you an me whisper in my ear forever so that now i can hear you in my head and smile smiles that don't reach my eyes and dance with the dust mop pretendin' that it's you
A different style, yet again; comments, suggestions, and criticisms all appreciated. Thanks for reading! (:
