Lyrics and structure: *Intro* *Interlude* *Verse* Being here alone I'm hoping for the time to see my way Never hearing clearer Sitting on this bright and sunny day *Interlude* *Verse* Now I feel inclined To look upon you now I'll never know Playing on the slide and swings And around and round we go *Interlude* *Pre-Bridge* Leave me can't you see that I'm weary *Bridge* I never had what I desired And you wouldn't let me play With the other kids there outside They weren't good enough for me While I sit here and scheme With rabbit and teddy Sweet revenge is asking me To be set free *Interlude* *Verse* I like to see you sometimes If only for a moment take your time I can really see now And I know what's your's and know what's mine I see it's hopeless Now the final stages have begun I like it when it's raining Makes it that much wetter than the sun *Interlude* *Pre-Bridge* Turning back the pages of my new diary *Outro* Enjoy! | .
