Little toad, looking upward
with his eyes on the prize
and his belly in the dirt
Who knows where his mind has gone?
He’s got no cause for hope
but he’s got his game face on
But you can’t blame him for wanting
Blame the sky for being blue
If it’s only second nature,
could you blame me, babe, for wanting you?
Little toad, what is your endgame?
Do you think that you can change
just by changing the view?
Or is it more to keep your eyes off
the chasm between what you are
and what you want to do?
But you can’t blame us for wanting, babe
we’re drawn to what we lack
If it’s only second nature,
blame the sky for being black
-and blame the stars and planets too
-I’d blame them all if it would keep my eyes off you
It’s just the battle lines I drew
not brave enough to see it through
Little toad looking upwards
sometimes that’s all he and I can do

A wild collection of songs with so much emotion, I have to skip Welly Boots at times because apparently it's not acceptable to sit there and cry at work. kavouri
