My Party For You

We are not as beautiful

Stop, start over
We are the beautiful,

We are the beautiful ones
We are Whitman's witness
and Tom Robbin's darling

We are the deserving ones,
our opinions, most adamant
on beer choice or decoration
are hell bent and true

We are the Declaration
of Independence
If you want to hear an earful
come sit next to one of us
I will destroy you

Not in a mean way
I declared from day one
that I loved you
so completely
that I could easily rescue
you from any party

I just want to stand next to you
This is my offer
Push it away
or draw it near
you can pretend
it is not here
but it's your last chance
