I seek an adventure
in love,
to know thrill and kindred spirits.
You are not that,
no,
no,
you are far from that.
and so I want to kiss-

But I won't.

You are the all-American,
apple pie and baseball and rose gardens at your aunt's house,
but I refuse.
and the chase,
is that why you want me?
Oh, I want to run away to kiss, to kiss, to cry-

But I won't.

I like tie-dye and vegan shakes by the downtown shoppes.
I like free love and history.
I like singing forever and not engineering new
new new new
never knew black deaths.
I want to run to kiss to cry to cry in a kindred set of arms to cheat-

But I won't.

But I can't.

I won't and I can't be
yours.

I can't be your girl,
I can't be your happiness,
I have to be free.
Let me be free.
Or else I'll fly away
and hurt both of us.

Leave that door closed for me
and let me carry my books just
once.

Let me go.
