Taken Boy - Avey Tare

Dolly

The dog that lives in the woods makes me jealous

That I could be running like she by the cold stream

Then I wouldn’t be sitting with drinks at your table

Mentioning words understood

I was taken

By a taken girl

By a taking girl

I mean a taking world

Will it always be

What we think it should be?

Will reality

Stay a mystery?

But it’s taken

All my aching boy

It’s my dream of choice

It’s awakened in me

But it never was

Only was in dreams

All its pretty things

Are taken, boy

Downers

That’s something she doesn’t see fitting in her life

But then, how could you after you heard all the stories?

And then, someone says people can see all dimensions

And

He runs off kissing the trees

And I’m taken

By a taken girl

By a taking girl

I mean our taking world

Will it always be

What we think it should be?

Will realities

Stay a mystery?

But she’s taken

All my aching boy

She’s my dream of choice

She’s awakened in me

But it never was

Only was in dreams

All her pretty things

To be taken, boy
