Sold

Sell me something good, to make me feel worthwhile

A purse to hold my chapstick, an app with a free trial

/

A pill that makes me pretty, or a trip around the world

A crown fit for a princess, with a dainty string of pearls

/

Shoes that make me walk straight, or hands that don’t get dirty

A stranger to be seawater, for when I’m feeling thirsty

/

A cat that naps and purrs all day, or a snake that never strikes

A phone call with someone I miss, or a dress I know he’ll like

/

A clock to count the time I waste, a pen to track the days

A tour guide who can read a map, and walk me through the haze

/

Sell me someone with kindness, who tells me I’m his choice

Or sell me a talking parrot, who will imitate his voice

/

Sell me a happy ending. I only want the one.

I know you’ve got some back there; I’ll take one and I’ll run

/

I’ll pay whatever price you want, I’ll trade you both my hands

Forget who has them on reserve, I know they’ll understand

/

That for me to be here pining now, to have turned and walked away

I already lost a real sweet deal, and more along the way
