Elizabeth tells me she knows how I feel
She thinks my brain is filled with
Images of a different girl
Laughing and spinning and kissing with
You

Elizabeth says she's fallen in love before
With someone who danced
Just out of her reach
She says my eyes look tired and
My heartbeat is much too slow
I tell her how I've been feeling
Very tired and slow lately
So she nods like she understands

Elizabeth thinks I'm jealous
Of a whisper that glimmers
On the cusp of my universe
She thinks I could - even for a second
- think about anyone but you

Elizabeth thinks I'm mad at the world
She assures me you'd be better off
Laughing and spinning and kissing with
Me

Elizabeth doesn't understand when
I get up angrily
And tell her I'm not mad at anyone
I'm just resigned to
Watching you
Laugh with someone else
And spin around like a carnival ride
And kiss a girl with strawberry lips

Elizabeth believes that two lovers
Should end up together
I believe that
You love who you are
When you are with her
And that's enough for me
